Everything She Never Knew

by Annette Chavez Macias

But when the worst thing in the world is going to happen to you anyway, you kind of want it to go ahead and just happen so you can figure out what to do next.

I mean what new things are you learning that will help you in life. You can’t know everything. You have to learn in order to grow. Because if you don’t learn, then you die.

“Because you get what you give.”

I’m a believer about things happening for a reason, because they propel us into our next life lesson. That’s how we grow as humans.”

All I know is that we all end up where we’re supposed to be because of the things that happen to us. Even losing the people we love.

Some days my grief is so overwhelming that it feels like Joseph just died. I’ve learned that the best way for me to get through it is to accept it, deal with it, and then allow myself to move on.”

Healing from grief is never about the final destination. You’re not going to wake up one day and magically be okay. It’s a 165journey just like any other, with stops and starts. The goal is just to always keep moving forward.”’

But that’s the thing about lasts. You don’t know they’re happening until they’re over.

you won’t ever find true happiness at the expense of someone else’s tears.”

some people come into our lives for only a season. They serve a purpose, whether it’s to teach us a lesson about ourselves or just help us through things at that time. Then they’re gone.
