Going with the Flow I believe in going with the flow. Days should not be planned whatsoever. Period. For as long as I can remember, I have always started my day off as a new day, a clean slate. A day where the whole world is right there at my feet. Who wants to start their day of knowing everything that’s going to happen? Definitely not me. Having an idea, sure, but the whole day… that’s just so boring. I like waking up every morning having no clue about my day and where it will bring me. It allows my imagination to run wild and explore everything I can get my hands on. It keeps me guessing. Some people might say that having no idea of how your day will go is dangerous. And I agree, it is dangerous. But I’d much rather live dangerously that predictably. Predictability leads to dullness. About three years ago, my parents divorced after a marriage of eighteen years. It was a shock, to say the least. The days got longer and harder as I didn’t know exactly how to deal with the anger and hurt that was concealed inside of me. Day after day, it seemed like the struggle was only getting heavier on me. I started looking ahead, days, months, even years. But I then realized that I was making the situation a lot harder than it had to be. I was looking ahead, predicting my life, when the truth is that I had no idea what was going to happen. After having this encounter with my many thoughts, I realized I had to stop looking ahead; I had to live for right then and now, I had to go with the flow of life. I learned that life is a game of cards, you have to play the hand you are dealt. The one way to do that is to go with the flow and take life one day at a time.
