when i was younger, i had this plan;
a plan to be married by 21, to have a career by 22 and to have children by 24.
i'm 24; never married, don't have a career (although i am in graduate school to have the career i want) and no children (besides my little 4 year old doggie who i treat as a child). looking back, i have to say that my plan never really was a plan ;it was just a turn on the road map; a turn that i decided not to take because another turn came before it to which made me have a slight detour; a good detour indeed i must say. yes, some of the turns were bumpy, scary and dramatic, but they were turns i had to make in order to get on the road that i am now. every bump in the road has made me who i am; every tear, scary thought and scar is the reason why i am standing here today. of course i am a bit disappointed that my "plan" didn't work out yet, but i would much rather be on the road i am now than a different road. this road is bumpy and scary; but what is life without a few tears and a few scary moments? i'd say you aren't livin if you aren't scared. if you aren't scared of what is going to happen next or scared of falling in love; you haven't lived life yet. because life is about getting hurt and learning from it and not knowing what is going to happen. if i lived everyday not scared of what was going to happen, than i'd say i might need to live life a little bit more; living life outside of your realm can make you scared, yet you never know what will happen because you are going against your grain. not being afraid to fall in love, means you have never loved. being scared to fall in love, means that you have loved; and being in love is the most beautiful thing anybody can ask for.
take the roads that mean the most.
take a wrong turn; it'll turn into a good song.
take the detour; the dead end will come &
slowly but surely your road map will be complete;
your life will be complete, just how you want it.
