It's normal to believe that things aren't supposed to go this way people aren't supposed
to leave, you're not supposed to be rejected, accidents aren't supposed to happen and
that things could have gone differently if you'd done things differently. However, as time
passes, you see that everything happened the way it did because one thing led to
another. People enter your life with the intention of teaching you something.
