"Be at peace with things you can't change."

The caption is a lyric from the song "people" by Libianca. I always loved the song, but I believe I've finally started understanding it.

I might never find true love. The thing is, I've been a hopeless romantic always, always fantasizing about the purest, obsessive kind of love, always dreaming about it whenever I need help falling asleep. I fell in love too, with a guy who didn't want me the same way, unfortunately. But I loved him all my heart, all my blood and everything, and now I don't think I've any more left in me. I cry everyday, thinking about how I fell in love with someone who didn't reciprocate. And worst of all? I haven't moved on from him, I haven't forgotten him. My heart still aches at the sight of his childhood pictures, I still cry everytime I see a happy couple. But I know I'll never be one of them.

Seeing people in love to me is like watching from behind a glass door. I know love, I understand love, I can love, but can't touch it. And no matter what, it's just the truth that not everyone gets happy endings or true love, just extremely fortunate ones do, I suppose? Anyway, that's it. I hope this post finds people who are trying to be at peace with this too.
