Life’s progress is often thwarted by unexpected actions, most often beyond our control. The plans we plan, daily or well in advance, are not allowed to materialize and never reach that point of satisfaction we intended.
Control: it is necessary, even in defeat.
How can we control the unexpected?
How will we live our lives beyond our control?

If we wait too long
for the stars to align, for
some kind of hope, or
some kind of sign,
if we let our lives hang on
still-bated breath, we will
forever wonder
what is still to come
or what we have left. If we
don’t own the moments,
or make them our own,
will we ever feel like
we’ve made our way home?
If we can’t be honest
with others, and especially
our selves,
can we ever explain why
or how
we once felt?
If we wait too long, it
may never arrive.
Stop waiting,
start doing,
start feeling alive.

Why? In which direction
are you headed?
Think about it.
What have you learned?
Ask yourself; you’ve got
all that time, and all those
questions.

Everyone seems to have a way of doing things or expects that things should be done a certain way. It is not always the way you think it should be done (often it isn’t) if you had a say.
Best then, to go your own way on this day (and going forward).
Follow your own logic. As misguided or meaningful as it is, it is (and should be) your choice. Only you know what is best for you, therefore you should do what you are going to do, as you choose to do it.
It is best that way, any day.
