I believe everything happens for a reason; every tear, smile, and wrinkle on your face was perfectly placed. It sounds cliche but everything is either a lesson or a blessing. Sometimes, it is hard to decipher the difference. Nevertheless, everything is as it should be.
I wish more people saw life this way. It is an oddly realistic look at life. In some ways, it is optimistic because it allows you to stay positive in hard times. Yet, in ways, it is pessimistic because you have to accept this is the way your life is in this moment.
Regardless, it is extremely fulfilling to accept your life for exactly what it is.
When I look around, I see my loving family, crazy friends, and small remembrances of all the amazing times in my life. If I focused on all the small things, I would never be happy, and I like to think I'm the happiest person in the world.
Isn't fate a crazy thing? Have you ever met someone you almost met 100 times, and then you do. All the sudden your life just changed for the better. When you look back, if you would have met them just a second earlier it would have been different.
Every friend that I lost, gave me room for new friendships. Every boy that made me cry, made me realize I am perfectly fine alone. Every bad grade made me work harder for the next A. Life is too short to overanalyze happening. Just remember, even storms are accompanied by a rainbow.
Life can be scary. It can be dark at times. Not everything that happens makes sense.
That is OK.
The best things in life are completely and utterly unplanned. They remind us why things happen. You cannot plan life, but isn't is comforting to think that eventually, everything will work out. If it has not worked out, it is not the end. The best is yet to come.
Stay thankful for the mistakes, errors, and tragedies. One day, you will look back and thank God everything happened the way it did. Live life without fear. Do stupid things for they just might pay off. Today is the day you actually start living. Go do something crazy. Learn to love yourself. Stop planning and analyzing. It will only hurt you in the end.
My goal in life is to never let life get me down. I can only worry so much; it is up to fate anyways. Let it go, it is out of your control.
