Funny little thing called fate.

1.
something that unavoidably befalls a person; fortune; lot: It is always his fate to be left behind.
2.
the universal principle or ultimate agency by which the order of things is presumably prescribed; the decreed cause of events; time: Fate decreed that they would never meet again.
3.
that which is inevitably predetermined; destiny: Death is our ineluctable fate.



Sometimes, it's a cop out to chalk things up to fate. But, when it comes to matters of the heart, sometimes the easiest thing to do, sometimes the best thing to do, sometimes the only thing to do, is realize it's all in the hands of a funny little thing called fate. Everything happens for a reason whether we see it in that moment or don't see it until years later. We can't keep putting the blame on ourselves or putting it on other people. We can't beg and plead for forgiveness or love or faith. We can only do what it's in our power to do and sometimes that means just letting nature run its course. All we can hope is that every experience changes us for the better, helps us grow up a little more, and brings us a little closer to the person we hope to become.

Here's to a funny little thing called fate.
