“When it comes to the future, there are three kinds of people: those who let it happen, those who make it happen, and those who wonder what happens.” Now, that was a quote someone wise once said to me. Well actually, I think I read that off the Internet somewhere, but in any case, I’m the type of person who wonders what happens. It’s a scary thing lying awake during one of those sleepless nights for the reason that all you do is stare at the ceiling; such a simple occurrence, yet it really does make all the difference. I like to just lie there and plan out my future, but then my plans and fears start to collaborate and I let it get the best of me. I think to myself, Is that really all to life? Your beginning years are spent educating and prepping yourself in order to get a career when you’re older, which you may or may not enjoy, so that you can support a family, who may or may not appreciate you. That’s the human routine. I guess it’s true what they say; life’s, for lack of a better term, a female dog and then you die, unless you’re one of those “go-getter” types of people who actually made a difference in your lifetime. What have I done lately? Nothing much. Will I be doing anything to change that? Maybe, but who really knows? I don’t, that’s for sure. I won’t know until that period passes. But these are the kinds of thoughts that rattle my brain at night. So I ask, keeping in mind all that I’ve said, What have you done lately?
