If you look around to find meaning in everything that happens, you will end up disappointed. Sometimes there arent reasons behind the terrible things that go on. I ask myself, If I knew all the answers, would it help? I lie awake and wonder why I dont have parents and wonder what will become of my brother and me. But when the morning comes, I realize that theres nothing to be done about what has already happened. I can only get up and do my chores and push through the day and find the good in it.
