Everything Happens for a Reason

I believe that there are no accidents and timing is everything. In a split second, something can change your life, make you go left or right. People often come into our lives for a period of time to show us things, sometimes they return, sometimes they do not. You may find yourself in a job you hate for a short period of time where you meet someone who could change your life. You could be anywhere, a hospital, a pharmacy, a bank, standing in line at the post office.

Ironically today, I met someone who happens to have a connection to a particular TV show I want to write for. He was standing behind me in line. He started talking to me about my tattoo. We chatted and low and behold got on the subject of working in entertainment. He works for a studio and his girlfriend works for a show which incidentally is filmed where I work--a show I want to write for. Now what were the chances of us meeting. I guess If I had entered the parking lot from a different angle, and gone in a second later, I wouldn't have been in front of him, he never would have seen my tattoo, and we never would've had our conversation.

Well, my new friend has invited me to a networking event next week where I hope to meet other like minded people. I am a writer first and foremost. It is me 24-hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. I love writing drama, comedy is too rehearsed for me. I'm funny by nature but putting it on paper is such a cliche. To write for TV is my dream job, so that said, the lesson today is, pay attention to everyone you meet, and every place you go. You never know what will happen. I'll keep you posted.
