DOES EVERYTHING HAPPEN FOR A REASON?

I used to like the saying "Everything happens for a reason"
But, recently I wonder: what if there is no reason for something to happen?
I mean, do you need a reason to love someone?
Do you need a reason to dislike someone?
Do you need a reason to be suddenly happy?
And do you really need a reason feel bad about yourself?

When unexpected things happen in my life, and I can not understand why.
I hope, pray, and kinda wait for "A Reason" to show up and explain everything.
But when it never comes, I try to explain it myself, and wait for "Another Reason" to come up and so I can deal with everything.
But it never does.
So, what am I supposed to do? Wait again? Waiting is painful. Painful especially when do not know what are you waiting for, and when you are finished. You do not know whether you wait for a good thing to show up, or just another painful life lesson. Or is the wait itself the answer and the reason?

I do not know about you, pals but I have decided that my wait is over.
I am so done with waiting or whatever life is going to teach me about patience & endurance.
I am bound to take action with my life because I will feel so bad, not using everything I can and everything I have, to do something about my life.
Something that makes me happy, happy as a living one, content as a human being, and proud as His daughter.
For I believe that happiness is simple, but feeling happy is totally your choice.

So, if some insist to know my reasons beyond the decisions I have made or will make, there is only one: Because I, as much the same as others, want to be happy :)

The Ugly Truth

If there is a thing I realize when I am being an adult, is that "life does not work 'that' way."
And by 'that' I mean: 'that kind', 'that generous', 'that nice', 'that easy', etc. 
The point is you don't always get what you want in life.

You work so hard, but there is always someone who does better.
You be so kind, but there is always someone who is more like-able.
You give so much, but there is always someone who receives more.
You pray so often, but there is always someone who gets better luck.

Not such a surprise eh?
Life won't treat you kind. No, it won't.
Life gives you lessons. Lessons that are never be taught by your parents & teachers.
But those life lessons can be tough, they can make you crack, break down like a wall. They can tear you up, make you scream out of your lungs, cry like a baby, get you begging worse than a beggar. But life can also make you smile, wider than anything you ever know, laugh like a lunatic, and wonder what have you done in the past, that makes you lucky enough to feel all of those emotions. 
 
Life is full of surprises. Sometimes so cliche that you ever think that God may play a joke on you.
Life is impossible to be explained and understood, unless you go through it yourself.
A nice reminder not to judge on others.
Maybe I am being mellow, but if you feel that life is being hard on you, just know that you are not alone.
