Bad things happen for a reason.

If only life was perfect.

Nothing bad ever happened.

No one ever had to go through heart break.

Everyone was considered beautiful always.

Sounds like a good life eh?

Wrong.

I like being an imperfect person. 

It makes me less judgemental, and more forgiving.

It helps me make new friendships.

It helps me flirt with my guy friends who I've liked, but haven't had the guts to flirt with.

It helps me to be a better boss.

It helps me to be happy.

Accidents happen. Heart breaks happen. People suck.

Bad things happen for a reason. It may be unknowing to us at first, but eventually, we see the good that it brings to our lives.

Just remember that no one is perfect. People make mistakes.

People judge others too quickly based on appearances.

I'm glad I don't do that anymore, or else I wouldn't be hanging out with an amazing person. (He knows who he is.)

Your past doesn't define you unless you let it.

So, when you hear that you should put the past in the past and live life in the present, take the advice.

As hard as it is to take my own advice, this time, I'm going to. And if I'm going to, then you sure as hell should.

Bring on this crazy ride.
