as they dissipate like snowflakes in an ocean

Forgive yourself each night and recommit every morning.

You must allow your cares to dissipate. You will find that it is necessary to let some things go; simply for the reason that they are heavy. Everything will resolve in its own time. We as a society are very uncomfortable with the idea of leaving without closure. But not every situation needs to be tied up before you leave it behind. It's really difficult for us to let go.

But letting go is not the same as giving up. Just as disappointment is not synonymous with discouragement.

It simply isn't worth it to waste your time and energy on problems that you can't fix or people who don't give you the time of day. It's pointless to wallow in stress over events of the past. At the same time, it is futile to chase people. Those who are meant to be in your life will find their way back to you on their own. Let go of relationships that no longer can teach you. Life is meant to spent doing what fulfills you, with people who you feel happy around.

Stay away from people who make you feel like you are hard to love. Surround yourself instead with people whom you desire to emulate. People who care about your opinions and respect your actions. People who may or may not implicitly understand you, but who are open to getting to know who you truly are. These are the people who deserve your attention. You shouldn't feel that you have to apologize for yourself.

"You didn't come here to master unconditional love. That is where you came from and where you'll return. You came here to learn personal love. Universal love. Messy love. Crazy love. Broken love. Whole love. Infused with divinity. Lived through the grace of stumbling. Demonstrated through the beauty of messing up. Often. You didn't come here to be perfect. You already are. You came here to be gorgeously human. Flawed and fabulous."
