Good Things and Bad

Good things come to those who wait.

Sometimes.

Sometimes good things come to those instantly. Sometimes the people aren't waiting. Sometimes they wait forever inside an average life. Sometimes good things happen to very bad people. They make them happen. They want them more. Maybe they don't.

Then bad things come to those who wait. Bad things come at a moment's notice. Bad things happen to good people, bad people, precautions or no. Badness does not discriminate. It likes to fuck with people.

Preparation only goes so far. Living a good life only does so much. Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans? No. Life is you making those plans. Life is what happens. And you cannot try to find the meaning. You must make your own. That's the real power, the power we don't always realize we have.

We're part of the universe. It's easy to forget.
