Nothing that happens to you was meant to be. The only thing about you that was meant to be is you. Blaze your own trail.

Stop counting your losses and start counting your blessings. Only then will you discover that losses are always easier to point out and count than blessings. And that your blessings will always outnumber your losses, for they are truly immeasurable.

Isn’t that the way everything begins? A night, a love, a once and for all

Sarah Dessen, Once and for All

Everything in life had its phases, and if you were smart, you learned to appreciate them all.

He couldn’t point a finger at it but Ji Yong was acting normal. Normal? Youngbae could have sworn there were so many words that didn’t exist in Ji’s dictionary and one of them was that – normal. For starters, he was dressing differently. He was dressing decently, which only happened when his parents were present. He was being nice.

Was Ji Yong possessed? What the hell was happening here? He even barely saw him and it seemed like he was dropping off some habits.
