Water under the bridge?

The trouble with most things is they all start off so romantically in your head. But life always has alternate plans for you. They say, life’s a learning process – that of figuring out your priorities and balancing them ensuring you don’t lose yourself in the passing waves. It is an intensely personal, different journey – to be someone, to meet someone, to get a job, to afford stuff you want, to make a point, to survive, to do something or to simply be.

Life doesn’t really care about five-year plans and long-term goals.

Life is realizing in the first week of January that there’s a huge gap between who you are and what you want to be.

Life is a lazy Sunday morning spent watching a season’s worth of Seinfeld episodes.

Life is soaking yourself in the rain and feeling the wind rush by you.

Life is humming a happy tune to yourself despite knowing that your past was imperfect and future, tense.

Life is about making friends who’ll last a lifetime.

As the wise man once said, 'Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans'.
