Detoxification!

One of the most effective (may not be cost effective) way to heal your soul and detoxify your heart is to give in to the calling of wanderlust.  Adding on to this thought is avoiding solo travel and instead going out with your gal pals (because you desperately need some time out and sabbatical from men).  In our lifetime, we often end up giving away pieces of ourselves, precious as they are, to people who are undeserving of them. But as the popular song lyrics go ‘the heart wants what it wants’, you still can change course and choose to be happy instead of being miserable after being taken for a helluva ride.  Being with someone, devoting yourself to them is a journey which should enrich you rather than make you question yourself. The endless questions that haunt you make you either ignorant of them or you choose to address them, that is a call that only you can make.

There are so many people around you who love you to bits; those are the ones worth shedding tears over. One person doesn’t get to decide your worth, you do. Learning to hold back all the good things in life and wasting them away on the wrong people is the biggest life lessons that I’ll ever learn. You are worthy of the best kind of love, know it, own it.  What you definitely don’t deserve is halfhearted love or conceited lies, you deserve someone who doesn’t crave the attention that you give them or how you make them feel but how you two are together, the moments, the memories, the smiles, the hugs and the kisses. You most definitely need a person who will fight to be with you, hand in hand. Who wants to know every insignificant detail about your life, every wrinkle that inhabits your face when you smile, every emotion that you feel when you experience life. That's who you deserve. Not some pretence of a love that runs away every time courage is needed.

If you have good friends, you are blessed. Never doubt that, they are your real soulmates. They are the ones who provide you comfort when you’re howling away at 3:00 a.m. in the night and hold your shaking body. They are the ones raising a toast to a new you when you are drowning your sorrows in alcohol. People who get why you do things the way you do, when you say something and mean something else, they are home for your broken heart and soul. There is nothing better than a girl gang, and if your friends are as crazy as mine, then you are definitely in for the best time of your life. Good friends are the family, your safe zone who support you and help put you back when you are broken. Who encourage you to live the life you are meant to live. These are the people who help open your eyes and know that you are so much more, they are the ones who drill it into your head that you are a lovable soul. They stay to sweep away your broken dreams and wipe blood of your feet when you walk on the shards of your shattered heart. 

When you have good friends, you have the best travel companions, who will sit and meditate in the middle of the ocean with you, click pictures of your huge ass just to make you laugh, get drunk with you, climb the mountain top to feel alive with you, the ones who dance with you all night long, try to find strangers for you to hook up with, the ones who hug you hard when you cry with all that agony in you, the ones who you can be yourself with, the ones who hold your hands as you let needles pass through your skin. These are the people who will leave their lives behind to help you settle back into your life, they will go that extra mile for you, to prove to you that you are not alone and you are immensely loved.

If you have good friends, you have a chance at life!
