Okay, so let me be real for a second.
I am a planner to the max. I am not that spontaneous. I like having my life written out, and I like knowing what is to come. Yes, I am that 23-year-old girl that looks up the spoilers of The Bachelor because it stresses me out not knowing.
I have reached a part in my life where I am OK if some things don't turn out the way I had hoped or planned. So far, I have been okay with those changes. I have learned to adapt when things don't go how I thought they would and in a way, I am thankful for it.
Maybe you moved away from home and never thought you would be that person. Maybe you took a job that was supposed to be everything you ever wanted, but it wasn't for you. Maybe you studied an insane amount for a test but failed. Maybe the one person you thought would be there with you until the end, left you. All of these unpredicted outcomes that come our way are allowing us to learn more about ourselves, remind us of our needs and wants, and lead us to where we are meant to be.
Everyone has a certain mentality about their life at some point. Loving the life we have versus the life we "think" we should have is a difficult one to wrap our brains around. As I have reached my young adulthood, I have found that letting go of having a 'timeline' can do a lot of good in our lives, and create a more stress-free environment. For me, surrounding myself with encouraging, positive people makes change easier to deal with when it comes my way.
