Deep thought of the day

Everything happens for a reason.

I was just thinking over the past few years of my life, and I've realized that a lot of the most profound experiences came about out of something I thought was stupid, silly, or insignificant. Last year's memorable stay at Berkeley would not have been possible had I not known Vicky, who I would not have met unless I had been with Matt, who I would have not have met unless I had a silly crush on another guy freshman year.

I wouldn't be here with a particular goal (medical/scientific illustration) in mind and taking art classes unless I had taken a no-brainer job opening department mail, among other things, in Professor Cheney's lab. I came across the flyer for UCSC's scientific illustration program and the rest was history, so they say. If I had had the same job in any other lab or a different job in the Cheney lab, I wouldn't have been opening department mail. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not.

Just a thought.
