Things don't always work out in life. That is common knowledge; it's just a fact. Many times, things don't work out the way we want them to, and sometimes they go totally wrong. We all get excited about things only for them to not turn out, which is disappointing. Maybe it's an online shopping order, a meal at a restaurant, or a craft to do.
