Anna M. Stratulat

You’re going to realize it one day-
that happiness was never about your
job or your degree or being in a rela-
tionship. Happiness was never about
following in the footsteps of all of
those who came before you; it was
never about being like the others.
One day, you’re going to see it–that
happiness was always about the dis-
covery, the hope, the listening to
your heart and following it wherever
it chose to go. Happiness was always
about being kinder to yourself; it was
always about embracing the person
you were becoming. One day, you
will understand that happiness was
always about learning how to live
with yourself, that your happiness
was never in the hands of others. It
was always about you. It was always
about you.
