I know that billions of people have written on this topic. But for me, this changes everything.
As of two weeks ago, I was behind on my studies. I was terribly sick. I couldn't seem to get anything right. I just got over my ex-girlfriend and was working on dating again, which wasn't working. I was pissed often, and rarely happy.
But something changed. Something flared in my life that turned everything around. I'm not sure what it is, but I'm sure glad that it happened.
I found my groove. I became myself again after being in such a funk for so long. I was able to catch up on everything, and pull myself together. I found a new favorite band. I had enough time in the day to do everything I wanted. I am dating a girl now, and things are going as they should.
I think that is the key phrase; things going as they should.
But who is to determine that? Who is to determine how things should go?
I say it's different for everybody. I think that you decide how things should go by feelings and thoughts.
So right now, things are going as they should in life.
When the pitcher of life has consistently thrown me impossible knuckle balls, as well as some harsh curves, I finally got my fastball down the middle and used it to my advantage. I slammed it as hard as I could and it's heading for the grandstands.
Whether it gets there or not, I'm not sure. Something crazy could happen. The wind could pick up and stop its momentum. The outfielder could jump and make a miraculous catch.
Anything could happen.
So I'm not trying to get my hopes up to much. I'm trying to take it all slow right now. I'm savoring every flavor in this portion that has been cut for me.
That is what one has to do. Savor things. Don't jump and think that the whole steak is that same delicious flavor because it very well could be rarer, or colder, or burnt, or contain worms.
I'm sitting back and enjoying this until it runs out. Then it's time to take another bite.
