The Future (21)

Posted under: Life

To Shelley: My reply is in the comments. I suggest you read it.

Why is it that sometimes, you happen to think about the future more often than you should? Especially with a future that doesn’t play a role yet in your everyday life?

Unfortunately for me, I’ve been a victim of that one too many times. I’ll sit there, I’ll lay there, and I’ll think about all the different scenarios that could happen and how I would deal with such a scenario. Yes, sometimes it’s gotten my hopes and expectations and up and more recently, it’s gotten me to think about what it is I need to know and what it is I want to know.

The future.

It’s so vague. It’s so abstract. It’s so… debatable. Some can say that your future is already mapped out with fate and destiny. Some argue that you choose your fate. And some say whatever happens, happens.

Honestly, I think that if something is meant to happen, it will happen either sooner or later. I’m not saying that fate plays a role, but there is an underlying, a subtle hint that something is inevitable, then who’s to stop the inevitable?

Time can only tell what the future holds for us. There’s no cheating. No peeking. No illusions to foretell the future. You can only live life one day at a time. (But that doesn’t mean you can’t plan ahead!)
