A few years ago I bought a framed picture of a silhouette of a woman with this quote written on it “She took comfort in the pure randomness that surrounded her, accepting that no one escape, knowing that it could happen to anyone, at any time… pain, happiness, confusion, even love.”
I am quickly realizing that I do not live my life this way. I shy away from randomness and try to control it at all cost. I have to laugh at myself as I read this quote every morning. This is what I desire to do, but it is in no way I live my life. I bought the picture not because it resembled who I am, but more of who I long to be.
All of this to say, that I am trying to live with ambiguity in my life and appreciate the randomness. I will attempt to not control the unpredictable things in my life, but fully embrace them as the gift that they are.
