“When I look up at the night sky, and I know that, yes, we are part of this Universe, we are in this Universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts is that the Universe is in us. When I reflect on that fact, I look up—many people feel small, because they’re small and the Universe is big, but I feel big, because my atoms came from those stars.” - Neil DeGrasse Tyson

How do we really know if a decision is right or not? I mean, we try to weigh the consequences, list the pros and cons, visualize the good and bad, but at the end of the day we can never really be sure. Everything is so uncertain. The only certainty is change. Change is inevitable, it WILL happen. 

I asked myself something recently, how can an immovable object and an unstoppable force coexist? They can’t. Right now, love is the unstoppable force, and my pride/individuality is the immovable object. One has to stop existing. Many will advise me in a heart beat that I should give up the pride, after all who can live without love? Love is the air that keeps us breathing, without it we can’t live. If we didn’t have it in our lives we would be breathless and we will perish. 

… But pride. My mother once told me, all a human being has is their word and their name. Why is it that we need to let go of our identity in order to be in a relationship. Individualism vanishes. Is it worth it? My identity, my individual persona is a free spirit… do I really want to be tamed? Can the red thread really never be broken?
