Some people just get dealt the crappy cards of life

So, the other day I went out to newcastle with my friends, went to the metro centre and had a pretty good time out. We got the metro home, and I was panicing a bit because the train was going really fast and rocking alot, Cam decided it would be really funny to make me even more scared by saying that we were going to come off the tracks.
Anyway, I was sitting there listening to my iPod trying to ignor the fact that Cam was staring with a scary look on his face to freak me out further. I heard someone drop something and I looked up and saw that the man standing at the metro doors had dropped his book and he was bending over to pick it up, then he started shaking, he couldn't reach his book, he had gone completely white and looked like he was going to collapse. Fortunatly the man sitting down stood up and helped him to a seat and some other people ran up to tell the driver to stop because we needed help. I couldn't help but stare, neither could the rest of the train. I wanted to go up to him and help, but there was nothing I could do. He was taken away and looked after by a nice couple on the Metro. Seeing that made me think about my work's expo, when Rory took a fit, how I was upset just hearing about it, what would I be like if I had to actually deal with it as part of my job? My friend was very comforting and said something that inspired me to write this blog.
"Some people get dealt the bad hand in life, I mean look at you, you've had some pretty crappy card, but look at you now"
Or something to that effect, and It made me thing, yeah some people do get dealt the crappy cards of life, I mean, I was made homeless at the age of 13, but look how I've turned out, I'm happy with life now, I made the most of what I have. Some people get dealt worse cards than others, but you need to just make the best of it, because other wise you'll let it stop you living your life, and that is not the way to go. So go out there and enjoy yourself, no matter your condition, or homelife, because if you let it get to you, your letting it win, and never let anything beat you.

It's a little bit funny

Isn't it weird how changing or removing one little thing can make such a difference. So you probably havn't the foggiest about what I'm on about, so let me explain...
...Take my friend Rachel for example. If I'm tell my brother about what me and Rachel did in the town that day he'll probably say "which Rachel?" and I'll say "You know, Ginger Rachel"
Its not meant to be offencive, but when ever I think about Rachel I usually think of her amazing, curly, ginger hair. Thats just life.
Grace, from time to time I call her Blondie. This is for two reasons a) she's blonde and b) She is a typical blonde sometimes. However, If she was a brunette I wouldn't be able to call her blondie with out people looking at me with a confussed look on their face thinking What, is she colour blind?
But they're just little things. Lets move onto bigger things, but not quite the biggest.
The weather, isn't it weird how the weather can effect our physical well beings. Like winter, winter brings on colds, flu, pheumonia and hypathermia. At the moment i'm suffering from a cold, a very bad one at that. My brother is suffering man-flu. My mother has only just recovered from whatever she had, my yongest brother has a bad cold and my father is bound to get man flu soon.
Summer, summer brings on hayfever, its a bad time for exzma suffers in the summer too.
So now lets move onto the big things.
If my parents hadn't split up, would I have two brothers? Would I be as happy as I am now?
If I was different, just a small change in personality, would I live the life I live now? Would I have all my amazing friends?
If I hadn't met Grace, would I have met Mark? Would I still be sitting at the back of the class on my own with no friends?
All this probably means nothings to you, and you've probably already stopped reading, If you've getten this far, well done :P
But this is just something I was thinking about last night before I went to bed.
It's kinda like the Butterfly Effect or the Domino Effect, If you change one thing about your personality or your past, does it changed everything for you in the future?
