A Cosmic Kind of Love

by Samantha Young

“I think we’re taught to create goals and expect to achieve those goals if we work hard enough. Yet it’s always human nature to want more. To expect more and more and more. And don’t get me wrong, part of being human, part of what makes being a human a joy, is having dreams. Having hope. But I think there’s a fine line between that and the perpetual hunger for more and inevitable dissatisfaction with our lives because of it.”

maybe it means I can be happy with what I have, even if I’m a little unhappy about what I don’t have.

Hope was a double-edged sword. It gave you the strength to get up out of bed during the worst times of your life, but it could also blind you and stop you from moving on from things that, in the end, weren’t good for you.

“But being yours . . . that’s the only thing in my life I am one hundred percent certain I want and need to be.”
