"When you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person that walked in. That's what the storm is all about"
Haruki Murakami
Life is so unpredictable! At some point you feel like you should stop making plans. Nothing is going the way you wanted to anyways. Then why waste your thoughts and energy on planning things that most likely will never happen.
In the last few months, I had stopped planning. The will to do things I like was diminishing day after day. I was happy that I was with my family. Happy, because they were happy. The immature me always cried deep within, yearning for my so called "city life", my job, my friends and my accepted loneliness.
What I failed to understand is that change is good. Change makes you stronger in a way you would have never imagined. While I had the freedom to choose the change of leaving back a totally crazy life to settling in a simple, serene town, not everything went "as planned".
I am still learning to accept the change. What is working for me is that I have somewhere down the line understood that the decision on how to cope with these changes is mine and mine alone. I have recognised the difference between where I was and where I want to be. I have learnt to trust my intuition and keep my faith alive.
I have also accepted the fact that change requires courage. It is uncomfortable. It is curious. But then, thats why its a change. That's what makes you tougher.
Life will always throw you towards change. How we take it is what it will give us back in return.
It may seem like everything is falling apart, yet everything may just be falling into place. Just learn to look at it the way you want it to be!
