A wise and beautiful cyster sent this to me not long ago and it has never left me:
"Most things will be OK eventually, but not everything will be. Sometimes you'll put up a good fight and lose; Sometimes you'll hold on really hard and realize there is no choice but to let go. Acceptance is a small, quiet room." - Cheryl Strayed, Tiny Beautiful Things
Sometimes acceptance means understanding that while there may be two sides to every story, yours will not be heard by everyone. Sometimes acceptance means forcing yourself to not care what others are being told, what they think or how they may be falsely judging you. Sometimes acceptance means realizing that the person who you would take a bullet for is the one holding the gun. And sometimes acceptance means letting go of the whys, hows and what ifs and simply finding peace with the what is...And that if it's meant to change, some day, it will.
