what's meant for you, will never pass you by
the gentle unfolding of how moments and decisions find their way
There’s a quiet solace in believing that what’s meant for you will never pass you by. The idea that somewhere, beyond the chaos and noise, the universe is gently shifting things into place—aligning the stars, weaving invisible threads to guide you to the right moments, the right people, the right opportunities. For me, this belief is more than just a comforting notion. It’s a truth that’s always been there, a whisper in the background of my mind, especially when life felt confusing or cruel. I can’t help but feel that there’s something more to this world than just random chance, something that moves in ways we can’t always understand.
I’ve always been a hopeless romantic, someone who sees destiny in every twist and turn. From a young age, I believed there was a reason why certain things happened the way they did, even if the reasons weren’t immediately clear. But it wasn’t just love—it was life itself that seemed to unfold in mysterious patterns. Then, there was a moment, something deeply personal, that tested my faith in destiny. I found myself praying, almost desperately, for a specific outcome. It was beyond my control, and I just knew that if it came to pass, it would be because it was meant to be.
and, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
the alchemist, paulo coelho
When things don’t go as planned, it’s easy to feel heartache, to wonder why. But as time goes on, I’ve learned to trust that there’s a larger picture—one that I might not fully see until later. My mom always tells me that if something didn’t happen the way I wanted, it’s because something better is waiting. And now, when I look back, I can finally see how the pieces fell into place in ways I couldn’t have imagined at the time.
I’ve always been a planner—someone who likes to map out life in advance, to prepare for the unexpected. Maybe it’s my virgo moon, but I find comfort in having a plan. Yet, life has a way of unraveling even the best-laid plans. And in those moments, I’ve had to learn to let go. I used to hold on tightly to people, to situations, hoping they’d turn out the way I wanted. But I’ve realized that what’s meant for you doesn’t need to be forced. When you let go of what isn’t right, you make space for what truly belongs in your life.
Letting go is never easy. It can be terrifying. But it’s also freeing. When you trust that what’s meant to happen will find its way to you, the fear begins to fade. And when you look back, it all starts to make sense.
We shape our destiny with every choice, every step. But I also believe that something greater is guiding us, even when we feel lost. It’s a delicate balance between taking control and letting go, between shaping our path and trusting the journey. It’s easy to get caught up in trying to control every detail, but that only traps us in a cycle of anxiety and frustration.
Patience and acceptance—they’re not just virtues, they’re necessities. To accept the present, we need patience. And in waiting for the future to unfold, we learn acceptance. It’s a dance I’m still learning, one that requires grace and a bit of faith.
Uncertainty is just part of the process. We’re not meant to know everything, and maybe that’s the beauty of it. There are forces at work that we can’t always see or understand, but that doesn’t mean they’re not guiding us exactly where we need to be.
when we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.

In the end, I believe everything happens for a reason. And I believe that what’s truly meant for you will never pass you by. It might take time. It might require patience and trust. But what’s yours will always find its way back to you, even in the most unexpected of ways. And that thought, more than anything, is what keeps me going.
there’s a quote that kinda reminds me of this subject, and it says “there is a seat waiting for you at tables you haven’t even seen yet.” it always makes me feel better and knows that what’s meant for me will not pass me by 🤍🤍
oh how beautiful — i definitely resonate with the idea that the universe has a grander plan than we can currently envision ana giving ourselves the gift of understanding that and letting that guide our reactions in life is absolutely wonderful. thank you for this stunning & empowering piece <3
