Infatuation junkie: Everything happens for a reason…

Today, for my second post I wanted to write something about the saying – everything happens for a reason. My life has been pretty interesting and whenever something bad happens there is always someone who says ‘Don’t worry about it, remember everything happens for a reason’ then I have to hold myself back from punching them in the face and saying it back to them. Personally I do not believe it; I believe that more than often shit happens for no reason at all.

I’m new to blogging and I wanted to get it right so I Googled HOW TO WRITE A BLOG and got - Results 1 - 10 of about 132,000,000 for how to write a blog. I spent half an hour scanning through it and decided to go with plan B which is to read my favourite blogs to see how it’s done... I spent an hour on that and it seems like the formula is

1. Take something that happened to you and write about it in a funny or moving way.

2. Add a picture

3. Give your opinion and leave your readers with something to ponder over.

I couldn’t remember a relevant situation so I left my house armed with a pen, paper and a camera looking for something to use in my blog.

I met up with my friend and told her my plan. We spent 3 hours at the mall looking for a situation that I can use in my blog to get my point across and we found… nothing. We decided to take a break and watch a movie, we have been dying to see New Moon (don’t judge me). It was sold out and we watched 2010 instead. I spent the whole movie trying to find an angle for my blog but still… nothing.

By the end of the movie I was discouraged and gave up. We went home and feeling very sorry for myself I told my husband about my uneventful search. He turned to me and said ‘you know what, maybe you shouldn’t write about it and that’s why it didn’t happen. Remember everything happens for a reason’ I had nothing to say back so I punched him.

ps I didn’t take a picture but I think the homeless man above would agree with me that sometimes shit happens for no reason at all…
