It never works! It just never works!
No matter how much I try and plan my life, Life chooses it's own path for me. A path completely different from anything I had envisioned for myself; a path I had made a conscious effort to not go down.
Splat! Back on the ground I found myself, even worse than my earlier condition, like a broken egg. One small illness, one MAJOR change. Back to Square One.
How many times have you spent hours deciding what you need to do, what you want to do, and what you must do. And when you find that middle path between what the head dictates is right and what your woeful heart insists on, you finally heave a sigh and think you have your life sorted out. And just when you're settling it, sadistic Life takes a new turn and shakes you all up, leaving you muddled, again.
Such were my thoughts, as I was warming my bed and my sofa in turns. I had way too much time on my hands and not much to do. But as you keep thinking and wondering why oh why did it have to happen to me, you gradually look at other things you had so far taken for granted.
Life only serves you what you can take. And even if the glass is three quarters empty, it is also one quarter full. And if the crow can bring the water level up to satiate its thirst, then why can't we?
This break that was thrust upon me has made me reconsider so many things. I look at the same things differently today. Like they say, when you revisit something you've written after you've let the ink dry, you see your own writing differently.
It's time for me to start my life anew. It's time again to tread a new path, face new hurdles, learn new lessons, discover new things, and find myself again. I enjoyed what I did, miss it too, but that chapter of my life is over. It's time for a new beginning.
So what if Life didn't go according to my plan, I'll go according to Life's plan. It may be just what I was looking for and didn't know. And even if it isn't, it'll be another lesson learnt. And that's not such a bad thing at all, is it?
