“What do you make of your life ?” That’s a loaded question…the most of it I guess? I’ve recently changed my outlook on life and how I choose to live it. I used to want to fit in, even when I knew it wasn’t for me. I used to be so fixated on the “why” of things. “Why did this happen?” I knew no peace until I had an answer that satisfied me. Now I’m more laid back. “ What’s for me will be for me” thats the new motto. No need to force things. If things don’t work out then onto the next. You only get one life, there no use crying over spilt milk. It took me a long time to understand that phrase and I don’t think I’ve ever heard of something truer than those words.
I asked Evelyn “Where would you like to go in the world and stay for a year? Why?” She said Ecuador, specifically the Galápagos Islands. She said that’s where her parents are from and that it’s just beautiful there. And as someone who has been there before, I agreed with her. The Galápagos Islands are stunning, they’re like heaven on Earth.
Wow this is really an amazing way on how to view life. I agree you shouldn’t have to force things on people and do whats best for you and do your own things.
I feel like everyone wants to try and fit in, including me, but I like how you changed your way of thinking. I also learned that there’s no point in stressing over something I can’t control.
There’s no use crying over spilled milk, a sentiment that hits home whenever I think about all those rejection letters from different colleges.
