"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they go right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart, so that better things can fall together."
-Marilyn Monroe

This quote in a sense is my base that I return to when my life is in turmoil. I believe strongly in Marilyn Monroe's stand on the idea that when good things fall apart, better things await. Many times in my own life, I have witnessed situations that I thought were perfect, fall apart, only to realize later the consequences of that "perfect" situation would have been very bad. Often times, we as humans wallow in self-pity when our lives dont go the way we want them to go, or dont go the way that we expected. Instead of wasting time feeling sorry for ourselves, we should all learn to pick ourselves up and move past it. We allow ourselves to be close minded when it comes to looking at certain situations, especially when we have already made our mind up that it is not what we want. Being open to new ideas and thoughts is how we grow as a human race. When Marilyn Monroe said, "People change so that you can learn to let go." she was implying that most good things dont last forever, and that no one is to blame for change, because it just a natural part of human nature. Why should we waste the small amount of time we have on this earth being unhappy? We should not worry over things that we cannot change. This applies especially to those people, myself included, who worry about things that are out of their control. All that is, is a waste of time and energy, and when it comes down to it, I honestly believe that what is meant to be, will be.
