Life is a roller coaster.

Life is definitely a roller coaster. I never understood what life was going to be like when I was younger. Going to college was a large awakening period for me, opening my eyes and mind to think for myself instead of what I was "suppose" to think. It was a very difficult period, notably at the beginning I struggled through many hardships and challenges. I've never been an ambitious person and I don't have a definite future I see myself going toward, adding to the fact I can be a slight bit lazy, I never did so well in activities where attendance counted for something. After getting into my first serious relationship I found something I could commit myself to. And I did for three years, until a strange turn of events turned everything upside down resulting in losing my best friend and the love of my life. Now I'm back to where I was four years ago before everything, not attending school, and single, though with a bit more wisdom and experience to help guide myself where ever life may take me.

Nothing is "meant to be"

Nothing in life is "meant to be." If anything was "meant to be" then our choices in life would not matter at all, being that everything would have to be predetermined. There is no force that magically controls our life and our actions. If there was such a force that in some way controlled the lives of every person on this earth making everything happen in such a way that was "meant to be" then why would bad things happen at all? You might say that bad things happen as a way for us to learn from them and make better choices, but if there is such a thing as destiny then our choices are already being controlled for us then there is no point in teaching us to make better choices, because we're not making our own choices.
Now, if we're not making our own choices and life is completely predetermined from when we're born to when we die and we have no say in the matter, then we would just be robots, completely empty and without emotion or feeling. Because without choices we are nothing more than a movie from beginning to end, and no matter how many times you watch that movie the same things will always happen.
