Happens for a reason Quote by Cori Morton
“What if you could turn back time, and erase the errors you made? What if you saw yourself, young and innocent again? Would that young you frown upon what it had become? Everything happens for a reason. So here's my attempt to reason. If the young you, didn't like to see what had become of me, then what does the world think, because what's it worth if in the end, I can't even satisfy me... What if you could turn back time?”
