I thought bad things only happened to people with hubris. They don't happen to people like me, people that know how fragile life is, people that respect the authority of a higher power. But it has. It has happened to me.

More quotations from Taylor Jenkins Reid

I think I have to believe that life will work out the way it needs to. If everything that happens in the world is just a result of chance and there's no rhyme or reason to any of it, that's just too chaotic for me to handle. I'd have to go around questioning every decision I've ever made, every decision I will ever make. If our fate is determined with every step we take…it's too exhausting. I'd prefer to believe that things happen as they are meant to happen.
