Off the beaten path

I have made a lot of little wrong turns here and there in my life. I have taken paths not intended, strayed from the ones planned, and gotten absolutely lost. Yet, along the way, I have discovered many wonderful things. I learn of things I otherwise would not, I experienced beyond what would have been merely comfortable. And while I thought myself lost and alone, I was instead found by the people I am meant to be with for whichever part of the journey. I am grateful therefore for the wrong turns I have taken. I may not be where I wanted to be when I first started, where others have thought I ought to be. Nonetheless, I am here, right where I should be.
