“...and these memories lose their meaning when I think of love as something new.”

No matter what happens to you: what your life was and is like, what you have to deal with, it’s always gonna be okay if you trust yourself and love yourself, and learn to be fully content with just spending time with yourself. Knowing your weaknesses and loving them, knowing your strengths and loving them, knowing your limits and loving them.

Trust is extremely important too. Life, the universe, and all of the unfashionable possibilities of nature that seem impossible to grasp can become overwhelming and scary for many of us. There’s no reason to deny this. But we don’t need to torture ourselves with FIGURING IT ALL OUT. So what if we do? Even enlightenment can be a desire that sends us in the opposite direction of where it really is. All we need to do is to trust the universe and trust ourselves. It’s not easy. We might not be comfortable just leaving the seemingly most “important” things in existence to trust. But that’s all we need to do. Trust the process.

When you find yourself caught in a cycle of questions about the universe and life, remember love and trust. There’s no need to dig for answers. There’s no need to wrap our minds around anything. All we need to do is to love everything about our experience. We need to see our reaction to things and love them. Instead of diving deep into the questions of everything, all we need to do is look down into that bottomless ocean and love it. We can look up from this too to see the clear sky, the place where there is no need for questions. We can love this too. And we can look at our own perspective of these things. We can love that too.

Naturally, we need to show the same love that we share with ourselves with the people in our lives as well. Do we really want to spend our lives just having problems with the people we come across?

The reason I put this quote (a lyric from “In My Life” by The Beatles) in the title is because there’s no moment where love is inaccessible. Despite our memories and experiences, both good and bad, these lose their meaning when we choose to love the present. When we lose the insatiable need to answer questions and to even ask questions. When we lose our fear of the future. Just accept who you are, where you are now, and who you are with. It’s simple.

The only other thing I can say is please don’t over-analyze this post. Just read it. Don’t try to shove it into your life. Don’t force it. Trust the process. Trust that where you are now is where you need to be. I promise you’ll find love. We all will.
