I Believe Everything Happens For a Reason

Before every major turning point in my life I have met someone of the same gender and similar age who I could identify with who was in the same position and who was going through that very same change. The meeting prepared me in advance for the change and challenges I was about to undergo. Some people will say that is just a coincidence, since life's pathways are more or less predictable but the timing of these changes is not very precise and different people go through different changes at different stages of life. These days I am a Christian but even before I adopted that faith it seemed like the power behind the universe is willing to commune with those who are prepared to listen.
