That is life, isn’t it? Fate. Luck. Chance. A long series of what-if’s that lead from one moment to the next, time never pausing for you to catch your breath, to make sense of the cards that have been handed to you. And all you can do is play your cards and hope for the best, because in the end, it all comes back to those three basics. Fate. Luck. Chance. ↗

Absolute composure to a complete mess - it happens so quickly, all in the blink of an eye. ↗

— C.S. Lewis
