Everything happens for a specific reason.

A long time ago I was the kind of person who complained a lot whenever something didn’t go as planned, I always wanted to have everything under control and the idea that some event could go differently than I had planned would drive me crazy. Then, as I traveled, I started to change my perspective.

I noticed this during my first solo experiences when I used to plan everything down to the smallest detail, and especially when I decided to embark on my first “long” touring trip through the Balkans where nothing went as planned.

Although it was a shock at first and that unpredictability sent me into a rage, I began to appreciate it when those detours and unpleasant incidents always led to a direction and a solution.

They made me cross paths with new people, gave me new advice and gave me new life lessons.

What if there is a reason for this?

As a matter of fact, I started to ask myself: “what if there is a reason for this?”

I like to believe that everything happens for a specific reason and that every little deviation leads to a new consequence, whether pleasant or not.

Sometimes it can be difficult to accept, but if you learn to look on the bright side of unpredictability, I assure you that everything will be easier to accept and live with.

Just a few days ago I had to give up a trip to Barcelona, a city I have been wanting to visit for too long. Not only that, but I would have been able to catch up with friends I haven’t seen for years and I really wanted to, but unfortunately I couldn’t go.

I was terribly sorry but there was frankly nothing I could do about it and so, instead of despairing, I simply thought that there was a reason why it had to be that way.

Maybe life was trying to send me a message telling me that my existence and my mind must now live in…
