“Life is strange sometimes. It throws things at us that, at the moment the events are happening, we can’t possibly believe or understand they could be good in any way, we can’t believe it’s what’s supposed to happen to us.

Sometimes we have to live through them in order to have a better appreciation of our lives and the good things that happen.”
