I wish you understand that opportunities and people don't come into our lives when its convenient, or when we're ready. And that life is raw, and we have to grab the things we want and hold them will all our might so they don't slip away. 

And fate, well, I thought you were the one wanting to be realistic. Fight for the things that are important. 

Or Don't look around your life in five years and expect to feel fufilled.
