I Don't Know

I don't admit to knowing a lot of things. I don't know why people hurt each other, why we fall in love with strangers, or why life can be so hard. I don't know why I hate math or why the sky is blue.

But I do know that crying is okay. In fact it can be more than okay. It can be what fixes you. I know that knowing things and believing things are usually completely different. I know that chocolate and a movie can fix almost any heart break. I know I fall slightly in love with some strangers I pass on the street.

I don't know why bad things happen to good people or why some people end up alone. I don't know why having faith is so hard sometimes, but so easy at others. I don't know why you can feel alone in a room full of people.

I do know that being alone and being lonely aren't the same. I know that hearts are going to be broken, but the ripping just makes it grow back stronger. I know that people can surprise you, in good ways and in bad. But you have to give them a chance first.

I don't know if life really does get better.

But I know that I want to be here to test that theory. I know that there will be days that seem impossible to get over, but they'll be the ones I'm grateful for the most when the times come to look back. I know that life is an adventure. I know that living is for mistakes.

I may not know a lot, and I'm definitely still learning. But what I do know is that if you have love, hope, and faith anything is possible. No matter how cliche it may seem.

Love,
Natalie

P.S. I've really started to get back into writing recently, so I'm hoping to be posting a little more often than I have been.
