It's not that I believe everything happens for a reason, it's just that... I just think that some things are meant to be broken. Imperfect. Chaotic. It's the universe's way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It's how life is.

About This Quote

It’s not that I believe everything happens for a reason, it’s just that...I just think that some things are meant to be broken. I think there is beauty in imperfection. Sometimes life is chaotic and totally out of control. Some days are like that like when you don't feel like doing anything or you feel like crying or when something bad happens to you. But it's how life is.
