“Life is funny isn’t it? Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out,
just when you finally begin to plan something, get excited about something,
and feel like you know what direction you’re heading in, the paths change,

east is west, and you’re lost. It is so easy to lose your way, to lose direction.
And that’s with following all the signposts”
― Cecelia Ahern
