If It Is Supposed To Happen, It Will Happen

There is nothing we can do to change the inevitable.

If It Is Supposed To Happen, It Will Happen
Marcel White

Change is inevitable and sometimes that is hard to accept. One of the hardest things I have ever had to learn is that if it is meant to happen, it will happen. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and no amount of precautions can prevent something from happening.

Usually, when things change, people are quick to react negatively and get rid of the change to make things go back to the way they were. I have always been quick to notice even the slightest changes in people's attitudes and the way they act in certain situations. This has personally made me more prepared for changes that were to come. The only problem with me noticing these slight differences is that it would cause me to try to stop what I felt was about to happen.

I frequently want things to go my way or to go no way at all. Reality has hit me in the face pretty hard withing these past few years as I have realized that I, believe it or not, cannot control every little thing that goes on in the world. It's easy to get caught up in the fantasies of your thoughts but when you start thinking logically, you must realize that life is going to take its course with or without you trying to influence it.

It is okay to want things and to pursue those wants but at the end of the day, it will happen if it is supposed to happen. Of course you still have to work for it but I believe that if you are actually meant to end up with a certain career or a certain person, you will end up that way. Each life is unique in its own way and we all experience different situations and react to those situations differently.

I always try really hard to make something happen if I want it to. I fail to realize that just because I want it to happen doesn't mean that those who are involved in the situation want it to happen too. We all need to spend less time waiting around and just let things happen as they are supposed to. There is nothing we can do to change the inevitable. If it's meant to be, it will be. We just have to leave it alone and let it be so it can, if that's what is supposed to happen.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
