When everything is not what it seems

It's clichè but life happens and life gets in the way. There are multiple instances in our lives that occur when we least expect it and it's just not what we're expecting and hoping for. And those experiences may cause us heartache and pain and holds up a mirror to our face that fills us with doubt and forces us to judge ourselves harshly. But maybe things happen to us because of a myriad reasons, we don't get what we want, but receive what we need and things that made us today all the hardships we had to withstand are not what it seems.
