believing

i am definitely one of those people who truly believes that everything happens for a reason. it may seem cliché to you, but it (in more ways than one) rings true to me. just think about it. imagine a big mistake or a big victory that you made. or even a miniscule one. now imagine that that didn't happen. would you still be where you are today? i wouldn't. even the littlest of things can change your world.

for instance in one of my earlier posts i had mentioned that one of the main reasons i moved to california was because i had an argument with my parents about god-knows-what. if that argument hadn't happened i most likely wouldn't have moved to california and i definitely wouldn't have come to europe. it's just this huge domino effect and one little move can drastically change your life. and in my case it all worked out the best for me. i defintely understand when people are just so low and they don't even know how they got to that place. they don't believe in "everything happens for a reason" because it's usually paired with a feeling of happiness... and at that moment they're not happy. i completely understand that feeling and in a way i've been in that place before. and when you're in that place of discontentment and just a feeling of failure or even a feeling of numbness, you don't believe it when people say that things will get better. but things will get better. they will. you just have to believe that they will. even hitting rock bottom, being at your lowest point, of course it's hard to believe that this happened for some alternative purpose because you wonder why the heck feeling this way was for a reason. but what if it's just to make you stronger? to show you that you are able to pick yourself up and move on. sometimes that's the hardest thing to do. and sometimes you need to be knocked down to know that you're strong enough to pick yourself back up again.
