Maybe the universe fights for certain souls to find one another. And maybe the universe places people in your life just to take them away, just to teach you the things that beauty cannot. Maybe the universe fights for the heartbreaks, for the missed opportunities, for the bad timing. Maybe the universe knows in an offhand way, that those moments will show you your strength in ways the hope cannot. Maybe it is within the losses that you truly find gratitude for all that has stayed.
