I haven't written in here in a long time. It's hard to find inspiration when you're trying to clear a brain fog half the time. And I don't feel like writing something coherent today, so skip this if you wish.
Don't you sometimes wonder how things can change so quickly and drastically?
One moment, you're at the bottom of your class trying to not fail math. The next moment, you're receiving your master of philosophy from the praelector.
One moment, you're running your personal best and the next, you have a permanently torn ligament, and the persistent dull ache reminds you of it all the time.
One moment, it's till death do us part and the next is how to split the finances.
One moment, your mum is cradling you in her arms. The next, you're holding that same arm to help her take a step forward.
Nothing is permanent. And most things are beyond our control. I've recently come to learn that trying to keep the status quo, against the course of nature, only leads to anxiety. Take life one stride at a time. There are moments of disappointment, and moments of serendipity. And as I always quote the wise old King Solomon,
"I have seen everything that is done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind."
- Ecclesiastes 1:14
