Her life was changing, & she wasn’t sure how all the pieces fit together yet.
I believe that there’s a reason people who are in your past didn’t make it to your future. I think we should try not to regret anything, rather to take the wrongs and mistakes and turn them into lessons learned. One of the most important things you can learn in life is to roll with the punches and take things as they come. Sayings like ‘everything happens for a reason’ and ‘if it doesn’t kill you it only makes you stronger’ are not just cliches, and I think a lot can be learned from them if taken to heart. Don’t waste your time on people who don’t deserve it. It’s important to live in the moment. That being said, I like to live in the moment, but for some reason I still worry about the future. I’ve burned some old bridges, and paved some new paths. I live, I love, I laugh, I cry, I hate - just like any other human being. I like the beach and the snow, and one day will move somewhere where I can swim in the morning and ski in the afternoon. In the end, all that matters is that you did what made you happy.
