if it's meant to be, it's meant to be.
the future will fall in it's rightful place.
if it's not meant to be,
then blardy enjoy what you've got now!


"Is there really and occult power endowed with such an ascendancy over our nature that it can drag us along a path of disaster and misfortune? No, God has given us the light of the spirit and the touchstone of conscience that by their help we may recognise at any point and under any guise the enemy that prowls about our destiny. If we proceed with steady steps, and eyes fixed on heaven, along the path of virtue, this occult power seeks in vain to draw us into its snares. It may happen that at moments our imagination lets itself be fascinated by deceiving ghosts that to our senses put on the appearance of a menacing reality; but these ghosts are but our own thoughts, transformed by a kind of fever, which lends them strange shapes borrowed, according to our momentary mood, from the notions we have made for ourselves of heaven or of hell. .......
If your fears seize upon you again, come and shelter under my wing; I will be your good fairy. I know nothing so good as a jolly spell of laughing to put fantastic monsters to flight for ever."

--- The Sandman by E.T.A. Hoffmann
