What else can I say other than everything must happen for a reason. I'm not saying that it is always fate or destiny, though I know that is how most stories start. Instead it is just the inevitable in knowing that your choices, your path, led you to that dead end, or that bright shining light of prosperity and good fortune that you imagined having. This story, the one I am telling, happens to be about me, and the paths I took. I wish to say it was all bright and shiny, and that I was entirely happy with every choice I made. That would perceive me as intelligent, strong and methodical and of course everyone wants to be viewed that way. Unfortunately for me, that would not be the case. My story, is teachable though, has a lesson for all women everywhere who want light in their lives, who strive for perfection, for every person has to be reflective in order to achieve greatness and learn from others, especially their mistakes. If anything, let me teach you from my mistakes, let me guide you away from the path that says dead end, let me, at least once, give you a moment to say "I understand". Listen, and learn.
