serendipity

serendipity: the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way

There are a couple of idioms that I have always thought are bullshit, to be frank. But recently my frame of mind has shifted and I'm staring to believe that a few might hold some validity.

Take for instance, "all things happen for a reason." I'm still not 100% sold on this because, well, reasons-shmeasons. Everything in this life is random, but sometimes that randomness syncs up in a way that benefits you and your life experiences. I have learned that this is called "serendipity."

My life has been very serendipitous these past few years. Good comes of bad, events flow joyously, ying and yang, everything balances eventually. Loose a job, gain a better one. Burn a bridge, build a stronger one to somewhere where you should have been instead. End an unhealthy relationship, fall into the best one you've ever had. Break a bone, heal and become Iron Man. Okay, maybe not the last one, but you get the picture.

Anyway, I wrote a poem to commemorate the slow melting of my doubt.
