life is like a book.....

[bellabrunette]

So I was daydreaming in bed this morning, and it occurred to me that life is kinda like a book. Filled with pages of events and discoveries, tragedies and miracles. Every morning we wake up, it's like a new page in our "book" is about to be read, giving us new insight into our lives and sometimes pleasant surprises to get us through each day. And then every milestone in our lives begins a new chapter. ...Being Born, First Day of School, Getting your First Period, Falling in Love, Having Your Heart Broken for the First Time, Graduating High School, Losing your Virginity, College, Getting Married, Having a Career, Having Children, Retiring, Death.... All these chapters wind up making a big impact on how the story will turn out. But dont you sometimes get impatient and anxious while reading a book, and skip a few pages or even chapters ahead, just to see how a certain character is going to deal in a specific situation, or to see if Character A and Character B will finally end up together? I guess I kinda feel that way with my life. I get so impatient sometimes, that I just wish I could fast forward time and see if all the hard work im doing now will even pay off in the end. Or to see if I should even waste my time doing half the things I do. Sometimes I wanna fast forward into my future just to see if I'll end up happy or if a certain someone will make his way back into my life. I feel like knowing some of these things will kinda give me some peace and not make me worry so much or try so hard or wish on every star I see. I'll finally be content and not worry about whether everythings gonna work out the way I hope it to. But then again, I think to myself.....reading ahead in a book can sometimes spoil the surprises or the twists the story has to offer. And I guess thats why our lives and futures are meant to be such mysteries. If we knew how the story was going to end, why bother even reading the book? It would just be boring. If we knew how our lives were going to end up, why bother even living them? It would be boring to know exactly what was going to happen and when it would happen. Beginning each day without a single clue as to how it is going to end up, i guess, is half the fun of being alive. I think I just need to chill back and not focus on what my life is going to be like 10 years from now, or which guy Im going to be with for the rest of my life. I guess just staying focused on right now is the only way to really be happy and content. I cant worry so much about how every page is going to end or when new chapters are going to begin. I think its all predetermined by the author (God). I just need to accept that and let everything just kinda flow. Everything that happens, happens for a reason and in time all the chapters are going to come together in the book perfectly. I just need to relax and enjoy.

haha and that was my intellectual thought for the day....
