It might be the what ifs, the tears, the hard feelings that show when something happens.

But sometimes it’s not your fault right?

Isn’t there that saying that everything happens for a reason? Because I believe it does, and so should you.

We live our days with routine: go to school, complete some homework, take a test, write a paper, contemplate why we’re in college and then work our butts off to get a degree. We think we know what’s best for ourselves; we think we know what we want. We hope that all of our work will pay off in the future when we land our dream jobs. But what we don’t think about is WHY certain things happened and how it’s going to effect our lives.

If everything happens for a reason, then making mistakes isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it’s just something that happens and then we learn to move on with our lives. Moving on might be hard; it might be emotionally stressful and exhausting, but we somehow always make it through those tough situations.

The reason that everything happens for a reason is because we let it. We let ourselves make mistakes and we let ourselves learn from them. We let ourselves cope with the good/bad outcomes. We let our minds take over thinking they know what’s best for us. We let ourselves become emotionally upset and unstable. We let ourselves cry over stupid things. We let ourselves believe that everything happens for a reason. We let ourselves believe in the truth.

Life is a hard battle that we fight. Sometimes it might go perfect and smooth without a bump in the road. But sometimes we are stuck at crossroads deciding what to do next.

Maybe there’s a really good reason why we decided to go left instead of right. Maybe there’s a really good reason as to why we didn’t go forward and instead took one step back.

Maybe all the things we have learned so far in our lives are preparing us for what lies ahead.
