general paths

We all come into this world with only one thing for certain, we will die one day, and hopefully that day will be many moons away. What we do in between those moons is pretty much undecided, just that we will be paying tax on it.

I suppose our paths in life are vaguely set in stone, stop being a baby, go to school, then uni, find a job, settle down, have kids, and then take up gardening.

However, when did life ever run that smoothly?

I thought when I was a teenager (ahh yes days gone by!), that I'd go to uni, do some degree and then get a job in London somewhere. But hey that clearly isn't going to happen within the next few years.

Sometimes even a small trip can really open your eyes to things. My trip to Canada was meant to be some lil holiday, go there, come back, done. But after a day, I guess everything changed. Life changed. Perspectives changed. What I wanted changed. These things can't be helped, but I guess I found where I really wanted to be, and well now nothing is going to stop me. I am a machine!!

It amuses me, less so about everything that went down, but the way it affected me. Just the whole attitude I now have, the way I look at people and things. The way I look at myself. All of this soo unexpected yet thrilling.

It just makes me smile and think how lucky I am.
