Sometimes life turns out just the way you plan and sometimes it doesn't. If you're lucky enough, when life strays from your intended plan, it takes you on a much better path with an end result better than you could've imagined for yourself. Recently, my life took a little turn from what I planned and while it wasn't what I would've wanted to happen, in a way it was a huge relief.
If history proves anything, it's that my life has never gone the way that I've planned it to, but I've always been happy with where life has taken me. With this most recent twist in the path, I've not only gotten great relief, but I've also started to really sit back and think about what is important in life.
In this day and age, we tend to think that the wrong things in life are important. When you die it's not going to matter whether you wore $80 jeans, had a ton of friends on Facebook, had a $20,000 wedding, or if you lived in a fancy house. If you're not happy, nothing matters.
I admit that I am guilty of having valued the wrong things for a long time and in that time I have never been truly 100% happy. (Happy is definitely not a word I think that people would use to describe me.) I had a revelation the other day that the one thing that I really wanted, was the one thing that was making me unhappy. I'm sure there is a way to get that thing while being happy. I just need to figure out how to get there. I'm in no way referring to my relationship with Mike, it is probably one of the brightest moments in my life, so please don't jump to conclusions.
What I've learned in the past month or so is that I want to find my happy again. I want to value the things that really matter. I want a stress-free, bullshit-free life. And I'd like that life to start today.
