because… because… because. because you’re not supposed to start a sentence with ‘because.’ just like you’re not supposed to cross 5 lanes of freeway at 65mph, not hit any cars, have the car turn on its side, slide 30 feet, and have the driver walk away with a broken nail.
just because it’s not supposed to happen, doesn’t mean it can’t. it just means that there are rules for this kind of thing, and the general rule is that it shouldn’t happen.
i’m feeling like there are always a lot of exceptional things happening to me and those around me. i don’t know what i did to deserve some of these very specific blessings, but i can’t help but feel extenuating gratitude for… everything. like, seriously. everything.
we don’t learn or grow when we’re not challenged. can’t grow in wisdom if we’re reading the same books. can’t grow as people if we never meet anyone new. can’t see what we’re made of if we never try.
i don’t really know what to say, other than thank you.
