MARIE ROCKEFELLER

In life, I believe that everything happens for a reason.

Fate is simple yet complex - our whole lives are in front of us, and we have no idea what will come our way. We have no idea of the things we will do, the places we will go, or the people we will meet. Somewhere out there, somebody knows it all.

The only thing left to do is to jump in and face it.

I believe that laughter is good for the soul. That just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. That happiness is found in gingersnap cookies with hot cups of tea. That gut feelings are always right, that a simple compliment can brighten someone's day, and that loved ones who are no longer with us can be found in the stars.

In love, I believe that we were meant to meet everyone that crosses our path, no matter what terms we stand on with them today.

It was all meant to happen the way that it did. The infatuation you had for that blue eyed boy in first grade. The way your eyes would light up when your (shitty) situationship sent you a text message. The comforting tingles that ran down your spine, as your first love swung his arm around your shoulder playfully that one summer evening.

Although these people may not be present in your life anymore, they left an impact.

Maybe they inspired you to chase a dream.
Maybe they showed you how to love.
Maybe they taught you how to let go.

Fate brought them into your presence - you were meant to cross paths since before the beginning, and sometime later you were meant to break off into separate ones too.

Eventually, you will soon forget that they even existed. They won't be a bothersome fly in your headspace anymore. You will be able to start the cycle all over again, until somewhere down the line, when fate aligns you with your forever.

But what if all of these people from the past decided to casually, yet cryptically, reappear?
It's only fate after all... right?

My name is Marie, and this is my life.
