Life is never predictable. Yes, we make plans. But usually, things tend to not go according to what we plan. We all dream of big things. Dreaming of what we could be. What we want to be and what we want our future to be. But the funny thing that is called life, doesn't always allow us to actually achieve what we want.
So what do we do? Do we just sit there and wallow in our sorrows? No, we make the best out of the situation. In a way, we just suck it up. It sounds really sad. That we have to just accept fate sometimes because yes, you really want to just scream and fight this fate that you are placed in. But sometimes, it's really not up to us to decide. To me, I think that it's really part of God's plans. Things may seem to really suck sometimes, but I believe that ultimately, it will all make sense. That God puts us through these trials to let us learn something. And from learning, we get to grow up and become a better person. And we learn from these setbacks and trials. Even if it feels crazy unfair that you have to be the one to face such trials.
And most probably, the change of path from the one you originally plan out is because the new and current path may probably be better for you. It may not seem so now but I guess one day in the future, you will understand and see why. That you being in this path makes a better difference to the world and yourself and your family and your friends as compared to the original path that you plan out. But I guess the thing about paths is that it's never definite. It often always changes. Though all these changes may put you down, it is actually kinda exciting if you think about. That we can really never truly know what to expect next in life. No matter how much we predict and stuffs, some things will change without us knowing. And I think that's the exciting part about this crazy life we all live in. It gives us something to look forward to.
Because if we are able to predict what our life will become very accurately, it will feel as if we are just living life as it is. There is no excitement and changes and you just always know what to do and what to expect. Right now, we are young. Yes, probably when we are older, we would much rather want a more stable lifestyle but right now, we have the ability to do things and yea, we shouldn't fear of the unpredictable future. Sometimes, it may really suck when you know that whatever you are doing now may all just be a wasted effort in the end, and it will most probably hurt really bad when you find out that whatever you worked hard for indeed became a wasted effort. But I guess we must always remember to come back up from the setback. Because as long as we want to come back up from the setback, and we set our mind to make the best of what there is, it will all be okay in the end.
I believe that everyone has their own happily ever after. I believe that good people will always win in the end. The future; it's something we can never predict accurately. We make plans but they aren't definite. Life may seem unfair at times, but life also surprises and the unpredictability of life can be exciting as well.
To be honest, I really fear what the future will bring. Right now, it still seems a crazy blur to me. I think I really have to start planning and researching and yes, have a plan. Even though plans fail but you need a direction to head towards. And yes, of course, you must ready yourself for setbacks. Because for almost 8 years of my life, I was convinced that I want to be a photographer when I grow up. But right now, it's out of the way. Yes, at the back of my head, it will always be a dream that I just won't get it. But I guess it's not exactly a setback as to more of the fact that I grew up and I come to terms with myself. And yes, I talked to people and saw those who have true passion in photography and realise that my passion is nothing as compared to them. And yes, that's when I realised that it wasn't something that I actually wanted. And that put me in a crazy scary position of not knowing what I want to become in the future.
But I guess it was a good thing. Because if not for all that, I would actually still be that foolish girl who is claiming that she wants to be a photographer when she grows up when she isn't doing anything about it. All that talking is never going to make you go anywhere.
In this life, what matters is you do things. You don't sit around and wait. And say and claim what you want and what you want to become. Life doesn't work that way. Sometimes, you have to fight for what you want. Other times, you may end up not getting what you want. It all sucks. But I guess what comes out tops in all these setbacks and trials is you. You come out on top no matter what. Because through all these experiences, you are bound to gain one thing or another from them. And they all matter. Good experiences, bad experiences. They all matter. And they make you stronger than you are. Because you survive through them regardless. And that's all that matters.
And I think honestly, family and friends are really the best support groups you can ever wish for. Surround yourself with them. Never face difficulties or challenges or whatever alone. Because let's face it, we all need human interactions no matter what. Because that's how we are. Humans need that emotional connection with others. And they really are important. Because they are the reasons why going through all those trials are worth it. Because no matter what becomes of you, you know that they will always stand by you regardless. They are your support system. Without them, you will find no purpose in going through all the trials. You need them to remind yourself how you are extremely lucky to still have these people in your life, despite how seemingly lousy your life currently is.
I'm not sure if I managed to get the right message across but I guess all I really want to say is that life may not go according to plan but that's not the end. It may hurt really bad but I believe that there is always a reason for why things don't go according to plan. You are just meant for an alternative path and I'm quite sure that this alternative path will be better and brighter as long as you make the most out of it. I guess, it's easy for me to say this now when I haven't exactly experience something that will really throw you down and off guard. But I still believe that we are better than just wallowing in our sorrows. It takes time, but we will get there. And always remember the people around you because if you lose faith in yourself, remmeber that there are people out there who haven't lose faith in you and never will.
