There are many circumstances where we can ask why.
I mean, no one should be so mean that they take another person’s life.
We never know what tomorrow may bring
what day we may die, or what lies ahead.
The crazy thing about life is that it’s normal for life to be crazy.
We need to accept the things that have happened to us,
learn from them, and take them with us.
Even if you’re on the verge of insanity,
one day you’ll look back and say,
“Look at all I went through, and how much pain I endured,
and I’m still here!”
One day you will look back on the days
where it felt like you had actually gone to hell,
where your whole life is upside down, and you will smile.
You will smile because now you know for sure that,
after going through what you went through,
you can take anything that life throws at you and come out still standing, and still alive.
And for those of you whose lives are perfect…just wait.
