Once a thing is set to happen, all you can do is hope it won't. Or will-depending. As long as you live, there’s always something waiting, and even if it’s bad, and you know it's bad, what can you do? You can’t stop living.

Truman Capote
About This Quote

Life is so unpredictable, so to speak. You have no idea what the future holds. You have no idea how something you may have set in motion will turn out. You can only hope it won't be very bad.

Or you can at least do what you can to help it not be that bad. You can try your best, but sometimes even that isn't enough. That's why there are things you just have to accept when life throws them your way.
