'Cheer up' or 'smile' especially when it's followed by 'it may never happen' when it may already have happened, or even be happening in the moment

"If you believe enough, it will happen." Big juicy NOPE on that. All of us aren't going to get everything we want, despite believing in "the secret" or ourselves or doing our damnedest. That's just how life works. It's disappointing AF, but it's also fine. Some live life like we are racing to a destination -- we need to "achieve" certain things by certain times or we have "failed" and that's such harmful sh!t. One goal I don't see enough is just being happy. We wait for it, think we need to earn it or achieve a status so we can finally be it. But that's also not how it works. Nothing from the outside will fill our insides like we hope. We have to do that on our own. Hope your cottage will soon feel like home, Harriet. May there be wonderful surprises headed your way. xo
