"I believe that everything happens for a reason.
People change so you can learn to let go,
things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right,
you believe lies so that you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself,
and sometimes good things apart so better things can fall together."
I once wouldn't let myself believe that everything happens for a reason. Because some things in life just don't make sense. I couldn't fathom a reasonable explanation behind the inevitable. Death, Violence, Jealousy, Hate. I didn't understand hatred and how it could entirely consume a person. Certainly there has to be something to smile about, to look forward to; something to live for. How could jealousy draw someone to hate? Hate into violence? Violence up to death? I couldn't wrap my head around this.
The older I became, it all began to make sense. Someone always has their own logical explanation to such behavior. Even if we as outsiders don't understand why people do the things that they do, that individual, themselves, has their reasons. Everything DOES indeed happen for a reason.
People change too. Everyday. Whether it be for the good or the bad. Something could change entirely in seconds. A friendship can turn into love, love into heart break, heartbreak into hate.
The quote above is incredibly inspirational to me. People like me who care too much, trust too easily and love too deeply have to keep this in mind. Sometimes something that can seem so good may have to end in order for something better to begin. Never settle for anything if you're not entirely happy. Life is too short; too precious and beautiful. Why go for bronze when there's gold?
