Life throws you curve balls.

And sometimes, they smack you right in the face.

But you learn from it; you learn to duck or to lift your hand to catch the damn thing.

You practice, you prepare when you can. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. But you still learn either way.

Life can suck, tear you down to the very bottom until you're positive you'll never see the light of day again.

But it is just as likely to take you from that absolute horror and lift you twice as high; life can bring you happiness that you've never imagined, when you least expect it.

Life is unpredictable.

And sometimes… that's the best part.
