Too Good To Be True Doesn't Mean It's Not Real

No one is perfect, nothing is perfect, but some things do come together perfectly.

Too Good To Be True Doesn't Mean It's Not Real
Katie Pyle

We hear it all the time, "it's just too good to be true." We're all guilty of thinking it or saying it at one point or another, but what do we really mean when we say this? We find something or someone that seems perfect and we immediately ask ourselves what the catch could be, what the hidden flaw is or worry about how we could mess it up. We're looking at these situations as something that's too good to be true and it's scary when something is finally working and it finally fits together. Why are we so set on finding the one flaw in a seemingly perfect situation?

No one is perfect, nothing is perfect but some things do come together perfectly. We shouldn't be scared just because someone or something finally comes together. In life we have little bumps in the road there's no avoiding it, what we seem to forget is that all of these "bumps" are part of our story that brings us to where we're meant to be. The bumps teach us lessons but also teach us how to appreciate someone so much more when we're in a good spot.

It's important for us to stop looking at things as too good to be true, it makes us anxious, feeling like it's bound to come to an end because you can't believe this could actually be happening. I always catch myself holding my breath in certain situations that I'm so happy in because I don't want things to change, but when I do this I forget to truly enjoy the moment. If you have a good thing going, embrace it, embrace every moment, every phase and every step of the way, even embrace the changes you face. Change doesn't have to be a bad thing, change can be growing with this person; chances are if it's fitting together and is just too good to be true, maybe you found your person, right where you're supposed to be and you'll face changes together rather than apart. Just because things change doesn't mean things are going downhill, things can change for the better and in all reality, things are always changing for the better; letting things come together that are meant to.

When the most unexpected things fit together, run with it. Don't look for something to be wrong, be grateful and know you're lucky to have found something or someone like this for you. Trust your instincts, if you have something that's going great, let it. It's working out for a reason. Everything always works out in the end, things come together the way they were meant to, but we can't forget to put our own feet in motion. If you care about something, express it; you can't take a moment back but you can make that moment grow into something incredible. Too good to be true, may just become your reality.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
