“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”

“Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.”

I feel so refreshed.

This was an email I just sent to my best friend but I think it deserves to be published for everyone else’s eyes as well.


You make perfect sense and certainly I can identify with everything you’re feeling. I don’t want to be missing out on things either and vice versa but I do know that that’s really just my loneliness talking and that I don’t really mind it all that much because there have been great loves before and there will be great loves after and that’s really all it comes down to. Any two people can fall in love at any given moment, it just has to be the right one and when you cast your line out into the sea, you’re sure to catch something and if it’s not quite what you want, you can throw it right back. It’s all just a sense of timing and if there’s one thing I’ve learned since we broke up it’s that the universe loves you and that G-d is always looking out for you and that there will never be a time when you can’t feel that love.Last night, Ilana and I went to a service at a reconstructionist synagogue, a sect of Judaism which neither of us follow but I find fascinating. One of the prayers we sang was this: We are opening up in sweet surrender to the heavenly love light of the one. Isn’t that beautiful? If you just let yourself be, if you open up yourself to all the wonders of the world, the wonders of life, the magic in everything, everything will work out. It’s all about the collective, you cannot be part of the collective if you are not a part of yourself. Being happy alone is half the battle, then it’s entering the world and the collective and being happy together as one for the one so that G-d can truly be in you. That was a serious tangent but I am just in awe of how much I feel I learned from last night, it was a beautiful service, one that I will never forget and one that really struck a nerve with me. It was so peaceful and this has been a most lovely Shabbos. What an amazing day.
Essentially, what I’m trying to tell you is that it will get better. You’ll learn more about yourself. You’ll learn more about the world. You will feel and find things you never knew you could feel or find. It will be amazing.
And it will change your life.
That’s such a beautiful ending, I hardly want to write more but I know I need to because I haven’t really addressed your dilemma yet. Sweets, it’s all going to be fine. It will probably be easier when you come home, it will be easier when you have a support group, when you’re doing what you love again in a city you feel right in, with a little bit of new ink on your skin to remind you of the journey you’ve taken over the last 5 months. You, my darling, are going to be just fine.
