This year I’ve been living and believing in the fact that “Everything happens for a reason.” It is what life is! Things happen that are either in our favor for the time being or work against us to challenge our strength. People and events were placed in my path that have let me grow as a person. Every day has been filled with a new adventure awaiting me. So far, it has been a very eye-opening past few months. I left something that had always been “home” to me and moved on to something that was even brighter! Letting go of something that once was has taught me a lot about myself. I realize that it is not goodbye but something that I will see later. Knowing it doesn’t have to become something permanent. Just as the leaves fall off the branches season after season, they will fall to ground and come back another day…this is yet what is so sad and beautiful about the world. “How beautiful is it to live in a world where nothing lasts forever. We must learn to fall in love with the love inside us, only then will every moment be worth dying for.” -R.M Drake
