Life is strange. Sometimes too strange. And as years go by I get stronger and stronger feeling that we are guided by what we believe in. Of course it is a miracle to achieve something by sitting on a couch doing nothing, but the moment you go out there it starts to happen. It might be a superstition or just seeing things the way I want to see them, however in a way isn't that what's world is about? About the things we believe in, that gives hope so that we would get out of beds in the morning.
It's "be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it" in the sense that you really do, but hardly ever the way you planed to.
