I'm the kind of girl that believes that everything happens for  a reason, and that you're life is a story, and you don't know what is going to happen until it does. Also I believe in fate. God has a plan for you, and If its meant to be, then it will be. God will lead you down a path, but at the end of that path you have to make a decision. Its up to you to make the right one, and if you don't make the right one, he will guide you to another opportunity to fix it.  I know the past can never be changed, and sometimes not forgotten, but you can make a new beginning, and move on from their. You're life is what you make it to be. If their is something bad going on, it will make you stronger. Bad things don't happen to bring you down, they happen, to build you up.  Half you're past shapes you to what you are now. And the other half shapes you to what your e going to be.  I tell myself all the time, everything happens for a reason, it didn't work out, because it wasn't meant to me. Now I know better. Now I am stronger.
