I used to make plans like crazy because I’m super organized and I like to keep things order. But I’ve learned (the hard way, of course) that no person can plan all aspects in their life because the universe just doesn’t work that way. It is inevitable that there will be unexpected obstacles and changes or that you’ll grow and your plans just won’t make much sense anymore.
Growing up is hard, and I, personally, have much more to do. And life is having a great time throwing me nothing but fast balls. But good people have told me recently that I will not be given anything I can’t handle. And someone else told told me once that without that bad, the good doesn’t feel as good.
I used to look at some people in my life and wonder how the hell they got to be so good, so smart, so ambitious, so wise. Now, I see that they’ve been through it all, never gave up, and finished stronger than before. One day, I’ll be there too.
So, I’ll continue making new plans, even though for a while I whole-heartedly decided against doing so. And I won’t make the same mistakes again because I know the difference now.
