I might be either the most illusory person on earth or I do live in an alternative reality but I do believe that the universe, God, Higher Being, however we want to call it, is always watching after us. That is my safety net! Whatever happens, does so for a reason and a master plan that I don’t necessarily understand at the moment. This allows me to release the reins when the road gets bumpy. Kind of like saying “I am not sure why I am going through this, but I am sure there is a plan that will work on my benefit at the end.”

This approach that I called stubborn optimism had helped me in so many occasions.

And then life decided to play some kind of dark joke on me and my theory went overboard with the ease of an autumn leave on a stormy day.
