If life were like a video game, I'd be some sort of hero who has made his way through boss after boss, only to find that half way through this game, things have completely changed. For the better; yes. For worse; of course. Life this year is "interesting". So many things that have always been perceived as black and white have taken on vibrant colors and inflections. I am captivated by these events, but at the same time, paralysed in awe. My reactions have always determined how my year is going. So what happens when you stop reacting, and just start living? What happens when these events in your life no longer take shape based on your emotional state, but form their own living place in your life's timeline?
It's like a play; act 2 is usually reserved for all the elements that make a story great. The protaganist is caught in some horrible situation. Information is shared that changes the way you feel about the situation you just spent 1 act assessing. Questions are asked with no obvious answers given.
Ahh, life is like an interactive movie. You are the main character. How you fair will only be determined near the end. I can't say that I have loved every aspect of this year, but I do know that I have appreciated the events, whether good or bad, in their fullest form.
So maybe life can be summed up as a chance. An opportunity. A blip of time where we get to find out how to live, and then make decisions accordingly. Maybe...but who knows...
