Hey Guys!
So I was recently in one of those moments in life where they're two ways of which you need to pick one. Option A seems easier but there is that monster in your stomach that pulls and tugs and screams 'What if, by not taking Option B you're missing out on something' And then there's that twin who screams 'What if Option B kills you and it turns out to be a huge mistake?'
In the short life I have lived till today I've learnt many things, some things being that everything happens for a reason. And that counts everything. I feel that whatever way you chose to go it was all meant to happen for either a long term or a short term reason that you may or may not even ever get to know about. I believe that everything is not only for a reason but a good reason. A reason that ultimately will do the best and only the best for you. However, don't get me wrong, I don't believe in this thing called destiny. I don't believe that everything in your life is pre-decided so you can just go full YOLO mode on everything. I believe that your life is completely up to YOU but that decision won't always be sweet. All I'm saying is that even the decisions that may seem bitter to you are all meant to happen. Even if the reason is teaching you a lesson.
A small example of this from my life is there was this person lets call them '12'. Now I'll try to paint a faint history of this situation. So, '12' was a person who I used to once be extremely extremely close to. The best friend kind. We loved talking to each other and would spend nights together just talking. Somewhere in the middle there was some misunderstanding and we had a huge fight. A fight as in our egos came in the way and I'll admit I might have stretched on the topic for more than it was needed and I swore on 12's face that I would never talk to 12 again. We hadn't talked in about 8 months.
Now back to the story-
So my bestfriend wanted to meet and we wanted to go shopping and watch a movie but I couldn't go last minute and we were upset. However, we met at my place. We wanted to stay inside but because of some work we were forced to sit outside. Now she really really wanted to sit by the lake but the road was blocked. By this point, we were extremely upset and just that moment I slipped and hurt my ankle and couldn't walk further. So we set up a picnic near the park and began to talk. We started playing with a ball, where we would blindfold each other and then search for the ball, it was my turn. I ran behind the ball and soon realized the ball had reached the feet of two people. I asked them, still blindfolded, if they could pass the ball to me. And one of them did. I felt 12's hand place the ball carefully on my palm.
Later that night I got a call from 12.
I don't believe it was a coincidence.
We were meant to talk that day and we did. We talked all night. sorted everything out and reached a point where we became friends again and best friends today. The reason why my best friend and I couldn't go shopping, why we couldn't stay inside my house, why we couldn't sit by the lake, why I hurt my ankle, why we had to sit by the park at that moment and why we started to play with the ball. I believe it was all meant to happen in order to lead to that day because everything also has a place and a time. This was the time and place for this new friendship to spark off from the ashes.
Well. Coming back to the choosing a way crisis. They're usually two things I tend to do in this moment.
1) I write down the pros and the cons for both the ways and choose the practical way. In this option however, I don't let my heart sway me even a bit. I'm not so sure if that's healthy or not. But either way, there isn't any guarantee about the effect it might have on me. But then again, that's what makes life beautiful all together. The confusing and puzzling way about how it's so damn unpredictable.
OR
2) This, I'd admit, how I wished life was as easy to take this way all the time. Anyway, in this I close my eyes and think about the two options. It's as simple as it is. My gut feeling decides for me. I do what I think what would make me happy. Yes, they've been moments where in the long term they haven't made me happy but I have zero regrets because these are the moments that taught me something and even if it was for a short bit, just the starting phase- it did, at some point, make me happy. And that's the beauty about this road.
So to end this, let's all take a moment to breath.
Life isn't ending any time soon.
Take your time, take risks, move out of your comfort zone, make mistakes, laugh over them and smile because it's okay.
You're human, I'm human and everything happens for an ultimate reason.
