You know how sometimes we want something SO bad, and we'll do whatever we have to do to get it? & You know how in that process, sometimes we forget about what's important? This exact situation just happened to me. I wanted something to work so bad, KNOWING that it wasn't good for me and for some reason, I tried so hard to tell myself that it would work. In the end, of course it ended up smacking me in the face because it was nothing close to what I need.
A lot of times, I personally think that I know what's best for me. Of course in some situations, I know what I want and I can attain whatever it is, but there are other times where I think that what I want is really good for me when in reality it's not. Something that in my eyes, is perfect for me, could be so hazardous to my life and I won't see it because I'm too busy trying to make it work. Does that make sense?
The point is, sometimes things don't happen in our lives because they aren't meant to happen. Sometimes, people leave our lives because they were only going to bring us down. Sometimes, trials and situations come along to make us realize what's important. Just remember: Even if it seems like it's the end of the world because something you wanted to happen didn't happen, it's for the best.
