Though I also believe in the things happening for a reason, like in a more positive way. I've thought in the past that I was meant to be with someone, romantically, like a destiny kind of thing, and then it didn't work out (and then we tried again a few years later), and it was like, "But this was supposed to be my story!" (This actually happened with a couple people.) But then sometimes I tell myself that maybe someone had to be in my life not so that I'd live happily ever after with them, but to enable me to eventually find some other path to happiness. Or something like that. So, I guess it helps me explain both good and bad things, in a way.
