Life Never Goes As Planned, Trust Me Part 6

Push came to shove and well… I couldn't do it. I don't exactly remember what happened, but after two days I was fine. If I pulled my journal out I am sure I would be able to tell you what exactly what made me stay, but I am not sure where that journal is to tell you the truth. So I guess I was head over heels for this boy. I blame it on the "kiss" and all the awesome surprises, but I am sure there was more to it. I was in love and I knew that this boy was THE ONE. This all happened in September; December rolled around and I was engaged. Best month ever...well March is technically, but who cares, I was getting married! 

Alright, time to wrap this up! You may be wondering, why did I need to know ALL this? I just wasted my time reading your love story. How is this going to help me? Have you ever thought that you knew what you needed to do and nothing was going to stop you from doing it? I am here to tell you, "Snap out of it!" It is good to have goals and ambitions in life, but don't get complacent in "your plan." You need to have a little variety sometimes. It makes you grateful for who you are becoming. I am not saying that you will recognize the benefits at the time, but know that a change in your plan can bring forth the best things that could ever happen to you. What if I broke it off with Tom when I started having "cold feet?" Would I have my bachelor's degree, would I have my two wonderful children, would I have the same trials in life, would I have my master’s degree? It's possible, but then again no one knows. It scares me to think where I would be if I just couldn't let go of "my plan." Would I be in a healthy, loving, unbreakable marriage as I am today? Who knows?!? I am not saying that you need to always take the path that leads you away from your plan. What I am saying is, be open minded and spontaneous. Sometimes your life just needs a little push in some sort of direction that will help you reach your finally destination, wherever that may be. It may not be a straight path, but when has there ever been a long, straight path to follow? Set your goals, but be open to curves or determents and really look for what the benefits could be. Sometimes… you just need to follow your heart and put your pesky brain down for a nap.
