'everything happens for a reason'

Have you ever wondered why things happen the way that they happen? I mean yes, everyone says that "everything happens for a reason", but have you ever taken the time to think about WHY and WHAT the reasons are for things happening?

This is something that I think about all the time. Especially with the point that I am at in my life right now.. which I will say is not the highest point that I have ever been at.

Sometimes it just takes everything in me to remember that "everything happens for a reason" and that hopefully my reasons are for a greater purpose that will suit me much better than anything that I really 'think' suits me at the moment.

I've learned a few valuable lessons in my journey through life so far.

Lesson 1:

Life is NOT fair. At all. So get used to it. [kind of harsh.. but it's what I always tell myself]

Lesson 2:

No matter how good you may think you have it.. happiness is going to end at some point until you find 'true' happiness.

There have been a number of times that I have thought that I have found 'true' happiness.. but it just never really works out for me for very long.

So when does it end? When do the bad things quit happening? I really wish I knew the answer to this question. Sometimes I think that only so much could possibly go wrong to hurt a single person or just make things hard on them, but yet the bad things just keep on coming.

This post is in no way saying that I hate my life or dislike it or anything. Just a couple of my thoughts through the struggles that I have been enduring within my life recently.

I really hope that I find my 'true' happiness and that I find my reasons for everything happening pretty soon..
