❝You're going to realize it one day - that happiness was never about your job, or your degree, or being in a relationship. Happiness was never about following on the footsteps of all 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 discovery, 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. That happiness was always about learning how to live with yourself, that happiness was never in the hands of other people. It was always about you. It was always about you.❞
