Her wise words: 'Everything happens for a reason.'
One week before I was supposed to leave for college, my drunk best friend intentionally shoved me down a full flight of stairs at her birthday party because I was physically in her way of getting to a guy.

Taking a gap year between high school and college gave me the opportunity to discover my true self.
Throughout the entire ordeal, my mom constantly reminded me of her belief that"everything happens for a reason" and that"things will get better," but I never believed her. I truly believed I would suffer for eternity. It wasn't until then that I realized that getting lost allowed me to find myself and that the only thing permanent in life is change.
