Never Say Never

Sometimes nothing makes sense and you don't have the answers to anything. Sometimes you have no idea where you're headed, but I guess that that's the best and more beautiful part of life isn't it? Not knowing where you'll be going or who you'll meet or where you'll live or jobs you'll have, friends you'll keep, family you'll find. I guess it's a unique perspective of mine, and while many cannot agree with me, for me, I always thought that I had to have everything planned out, that everything had to happen just like I thought it should. And over the years, as life has happened and I've learned and loved and grown, at this point in my life, I don't want to know where I'm headed, or where I'll be or who I'll meet. I want it all to be a surprise, a beautiful addition to my young life.

I like the chaos, I like the unknown, it makes everything so much more beautiful. And for years I've listened to my mom tell me to "never say never" because in her life, no one could have ever guessed all the places she went or the people she loved. And that lesson has stuck with me in these past few years as I've grown and learned about the world. I never would guessed in my wildest dreams that I would be here in Hawaii, or that I would have traveled to and loved Seoul. This is not where I thought I'd be geographically, not even close but in this lesson, in this mini-era of my life, I am learning new things every day, meeting new people and living my life as it's supposed to be.

And so looking ahead, I don't have any answers and though I try to make sense of the whirlwind, I can't make sense of anything. But I do know, that I won't ever say "never" because as soon as I do, it will happen.
