New Years Reflections. [theatrical_muse]
New Years Eve Reflections: Over the last year, did things go pretty much as you'd expected or planned, or did your life take a significant, unexpected turn? Overall, was it a good year or one that you want to put behind you as fast as you can?
This year I turned twenty-four.
In twenty-four years I don’t think that anything has gone how I expected or how I planned. I never planned or wanted my mother to die, I never thought she’d get sick and slowly waste away before my eyes. I never thought I’d fall in love with a woman that was just amazing; even though I think I put her on a pedestal that was too high for even her to stand.
I never thought I’d die before I turned twenty-three either. Or even attempt to wrap my mind around the fact that I’m not dead any more. A hole was put in my heart by a bullet and yet here I am…somehow.
Everything in this life is strange and unexpected, no matter how much you try it never goes the way you want.
I think this is all because there is a bigger plan then us. We’re just gears in the great machine of things and we are going to do our job in the end, even if it’s far from the original plan.
Do I want to forget this year? In a way, yes. A lot has gone on this year for me that I would have never ever dreamed of. A lot of things that I never wanted either. But in the end it has been a good year. I’ve moved, made new friends, reconnected with some old ones. I’ve finally been able to start that life that I’ve always wanted for myself.
Living in Sunnydale I’ve learned a few lesson’s, some are great and some are small. But the best lesson I’ve learned is that you take what life gives you, you cherish it and you learn from it. Never ignore the small things because they add to something greater in the end.
