I used to believe the phrase "everything happens for a reason" was a crock of ****. A phrase used to get one out of a situation, like a hint to change the subject or get over it. Now I know it's true. I've realized what didn't happen or what did happen, happened so that this or that could fall into place for you, it's about not forcing things to go exactly as you would like them to and just kinda letting it go for itself. Knowing that everyday to come is a new journey, a new surprise. That's the beauty of life, all the surprises that are never ending... Until your dead of course.  You've just gotta find your own way to see that things are right where they are meant to be in this moment. Trust in yourself, study your heart and your mind, and love with all you've got to give.
