Life isn't always picture perfect and easy. Sometimes you may think you have everything all figured out, and then life will throw something at you that you could have never expected, and all of your neat and organized plans fly straight out the window.

It's true that it's good to plan for your future. It's also true that while you're making those plans you must have the understanding that in order to make it in this world you have to be flexible and prepared to deal with the worst as well as the best.

Not all surprises are bad. I know I mention a lot of heavy and darker moments and feeling in these quotes, but that's only because I find the most strength out of my weakest points. I also have been given many fantastic but unexpected surprises throughout my life. Surprises that helped to shape me into the person I am today, and filled my life with joy and happiness that I wouldn't otherwise have.

So yes, you might not always get to have your "plan A". But like the quote says, the alphabet has 25 more letters, and I can assure you that if you just roll with the punches and accept all of life's curveballs, you are in for one heck of a wonderful ride.
