Theme Thriday - Reason

I have my reasons for posting this late. Like not wanting to leave my room. So there. (Ooh, didn't that sound like a typical teenage thing to say? I am a damn good 18 year old.)

You know there's that saying that everything happens for a reason?
Well, I suppose it's not really a saying, it's more like just something that people say, isn't it? However..
I was pondering on this. As to whether or not it's true.
Like, was the reason I got shin splints so that I wouldn't be able to be in a multi sport team anymore, and therefore be able to coach football and go to polytech and have 2 jobs? Or were these all just things I used to fill my time to distract myself from the fact that I couldn't do one of the things I loved most?
Ahhhh just had another big aftershock from our dee wee 7.1 quake that happened on Saturday. Anyway.
I don't know.
Yesterday when I was thinking this over I was thinking, yes, perhaps everything does happen for a reason.
But now I'm thinking, perhaps we can bring good out of almost any situation.
Maybe its not that something happens so that something else can happen, maybe we're just resourceful.
Maybe its all just luck.
