Among the tattoos sported by Megan Connolly is one on her right arm that spurns fancy artistry or mystical phrases penned in Sanskrit or Chinese. It is instead a simple phrase: Everything happens for a reason.

A graduate of Florida State University, where she majored in psychology, Connolly has always been keen on what she calls the “mind game” and it has played its part in shaping a person who tries not to get too caught up in disappointments.
