Or maybe...just maybe this whole process is our training wheels towards something bigger. If we can reflect and know our lives, we might stay awake and shape our futures.
Chuck Palahniuk
What you have to consider is the possibility that God doesn't like you. Could be, God hates us. This is not the worst thing that could happen.
