I've made it my [belated] New Year's resolution to make public posts more frequently. So, yeah.
I haven't written creatively in a while. Heck, I've hardly written anything in a while. I miss it. I feel like it could help, somehow.
Do you believe in fate? I saw that question somewhere the other day, and it got me thinking. I don't know quite where my belief falls. I believe that everyone is meant for a certain life-- a certain job, mission, relationship-- but that not everyone chooses to follow this. We are each here for a unique reason, but not everyone seeks that precise mission. That doesn't mean these people aren't happy; it just means that they use their gifts in a different way.
That being said, I think I do believe in fate. I believe that there some things just happen because they were meant to happen. I don't know; I just feel like there have been certain events in my life that seem trivial at the moment, but in retrospect completely shaped other aspects of my life that I never would have dreamt would be affected.
My biggest issue, and I have a feeling I'm not alone, is that I don't know what my fate is. No one does, but that makes me impatient. Should I act on this, or should I wait and see if "fate" gives me another signal to let me know whether this is part of my plan or not? Should I try to act toward a goal that appears to be my destiny, or should I hold out for something else that seems more concretely related to my future?
I think gut-instinct has a part in this, too, but I'm horrible at following my instincts. I rely too much on reason. I suppose that will be useful for a nurse, but I'm not sure that it will be good for other parts of my life. I want to be able to be happy, without rationalizing whatever I do.
