There is nothing true anywhere, The true is nowhere to be seen; If you say you see the true, This seeing is not the true one.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
