Just Out Of The Blue

Sep 08, 2004 23:40

Well, I just had a whim just to start writing. I do not know about what or why, just felt a need to write. So here I am, typing away and hoping that when I look back on this post it will make at least some sense. Hang on tight folks, I might be all over the place before this is done.

Life is an amazing thing. So many times I have gone through a day just to get it done with. However, every now and then life throws something at you, something you would never expect. When this happens, I am typically left standing around, trying to figure out what just hit me. It is like something catches the corner of your eye, you turn and it is gone. You think you know what it is, but you would like to assure yourself that it is, but before you can do that the thing is long gone. So many people can quote phrases describing life, describing the emotions and experiences that one can go through, but no words could ever fully describe the feeling of living life. Of course I just had one of these moments of getting hit by something and now I am sitting here in a daze, wondering what exactly life is tossing in my direction. Of course this happens at a time I least expected, but life does not really care if you are ready or not for whatever it throws at you, it just throws things at random people whenever it wants.

"The only thing that matters is just following your heart and eventually you'll get it right." That is one of the lines of the songs I am listening to. How many times have I followed my heart in life? I would like to say hundreds if not thousands. The word "eventually" captures the big picture though. I am always expecting for something great to happen in my life and start to follow my heart down a certain path, but I soon realize that this path is not the right one for me. However, it is the hope that one of these days my heart will eventually lead me down the right path, one that I know is right for me.

So life has now started baiting me to turn the corner and start taking another road. I am at these crossroads, undecided which way I want to go. Indecision is possibly the worst faults I have and too often I end up making the wrong decision, but that is life, learning from the decisions and going with the flow. Why would life throw something at me? I do not know. Why does the sun shine? Why do we need to breath a mixture a oxygen and nitrogen and not just oxygen? I do not know. And maybe I do not want to know. Sometimes the greatest things in life are things you cannot explain, they just happen and I think I would be happy with that thought.

So here I am at a crossroads, a place I have been so many times before. And while I would like to continue going down the road I am now, my heart is telling me to turn at the next corner. Life has thrown many things at me and my heart has never let me down, so I am going to follow my heart on this one and if it is not the right path for me, I know I will eventally get it right.
