Sometimes there's nothing you can do. Maybe sometimes promises had to be broken. Maybe sometimes you were doomed to failure from the start, no matter how hard you fought. But acknowledging your own helplessness was no consolation - if anything, it just made you feel worse.

About This Quote

Sometimes there's nothing you can do. Sometimes promises had to be broken. Sometimes you were doomed to failure from the start, no matter how hard you fought. If you've ever felt this way, it's not your fault.

The world is not fair, and it's not always meant to be that way. If you've ever felt that it was your own fault that things didn't work out the way that they were meant to, then you're wrong. It doesn't matter if things didn't turn out as you wanted them to, because the truth is that sometimes bad things happen.
