The Life Impossible

by Matt Haig

It was as though a boulder had been given sentience via a tub of creatine.

LMFAO

People say that love is rare. I am not so sure. What is rare is something even more desirable. Understanding. There is no point in being loved if you are not understood. They are simply loving an idea of you they have in their mind. They are in love with love. They are in love with their loving. To be understood. And not only that, but to be understood and appreciated once understood. That is what matters.

Wanting things to be simple can become a kind of prison, it really can, because you end up staying trapped inside how you want things to be rather than embracing how they could be. You end up closed. You end up shutting doors to so many possibilities.

I have to remind myself of this, sometimes, living in a city. I feel like sometimes I get so overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of things and just want to move away to the woods and be alone with a farm and talk to no one. BUT! I soon remember how I have grown so much since moving here and have met so many wonderful people.
