6/5/18 Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost

Dear Elle,

Welcome back. It has been 3 years since you used the good ol Tumblr. By looking at your reblogs and posts, I see that it is indeed depressing, materialistic and useless. In short: please ignore my reblogs and posts before this one.

So, I just want to say that I’m back to writing to myself for them to see.

I’ve met more people in my life than I actually intended to and maybe there’s a good reason why. I’ve dealt with losses I didn’t think that I would have to deal with at 22. I look back at the 3 years and see that a lot has changed. I feel like I’m lost but I’m not really lost when I have directions in my life. It’s like I’m wanting to be lost but I’m just wandering around.

I was at the gym yesterday and this woman was yelling inside the locker room. She was on the phone with Steve (I knew that because she called the man she was talking to Steve) and Steve wanted a break from their relationship. The woman said, “Okay, Steve. I understand. I know you want this break and I completely understand. You’ve wanted this for a while. I’m calm. I hope you have a nice life. Oh, and have fun with your new best friend!” The woman did not understand. Remember when I said that she was yelling at the beginning? And she hung up the phone and apologized out loud to everyone in the locker room. I don’t know why she apologized. She opened her makeup bag and started putting foundation on with her Mac brush. I walked towards her and told her, “Hey, I understand what you’re going through and whatever you’re going through, I know you’re able to make it through. Please stay strong.” And she had a half-smile. I felt the pain in her voice when she spoke to me. Her eyes were on the verge of tears. She said to me, “I just don’t understand. I don’t know why. But you actually made my day. Thank you for making my day.” It was 9:00pm.

So woman inside the locker room - I hope you’re okay and I know that you are going to be okay. Steve - you don’t want a break. You want a break from the woman because you still want to keep her captive while dating another woman aka the best friend you were probably flirting with for months while you were in a relationship and decided you want a break so you can have your best friend and the woman too.

I think the point of me writing this 5 minute moment in my life is that we should tell people how we feel. I told the woman the truth that whatever she is going through that she’ll be able to make it through.

And maybe when I feel like there is something amiss in my wandering days that I will be able to make it through the finish line as well. That I’m able to navigate through my life reading the directions clearly.

dear elle

there’s 10 minutes left of your birthday (my time) and I miss you. It poured rain for two days and all I could think of is how you’re the only person in the world who would make a way to make the damp feel warm.

happy 21, I love you
