This one is from bed. I have been uninspired to write. And completely anti-social. Things are happening, and I have been in a reflective mood. I caught up with a friend from high school on the weekend. It's strange. I've known her fifteen years now; knew her since we were five. And as we had lunch, we discussed high school. And it frightens me. It has been ten years since high school. Ten years ago I was fifteen. Ten years ago I was in year 11. My God. But as we chatted about the good ole times, and caught up on news, it made me wonder about everyone around me, and all those people I knew. Ten years ago, did we ever think we would end up where we are today? In the circumstances we are in today? I certainly didn't.
I watched Grey's Anatomy tonight (had to tape it from Monday 'coz of indoor soccer). In tonight's episode, there was a lady who said that everyone has dreams, but in your dreams, you never see the bad ending. When you're growing up, you imagine getting married, having kids. But you never see or predict that your partner could be cruelly taken away from you. It puts things into perspective. My dreams havn't rolled out the way I scripted them ten years ago.
People who are close to me are going through a hard time at the moment. Perhaps everyone in my life, at this very moment, in their own way, is going through a rough patch. And it's hard to stand back and watch them do their own thing, feeling utterly helpless, standing by, waiting until they want you to lend an ear. And it has definitely put things into perspective for me. And how I wish things could change. How circumstances could change. How past events could change where we stand today. Who knew we would be where we are now ten years on? Perhaps I knew better. Perhaps not. Who knew?
Ps. Hang on.. I cannot count. Ten years ago was year 10.

I know EXACTLY how you feel, cept I'm just those few years ahead of you thinking "I'M 30, what am I doing?" I know i didn't expect to be where I am today at that point. I was rather typical and predictable in my thinking. Job, House, Family." But when I wrote it did I truly believe it? Or was I just being typical and standard, as society would have liked. Maybe I hoped or maybe that is what I thought I wanted? We don't always end up where we think we will. How can we? Unless our live is scripted and we follow it by the book. Unless we can see into the future and follow the path already set. We can never fully predict our path. We might end up in the career we wanted since high school because we studyied our arses off to get that degree. But that doesnt mean the family came with it or we dated the person we'd always desired to date. It's a realm of endless possibilities that in another 10 years time we'll do the exact same thing..lol..We are strange beings like that. We walk our path. We live everyday and make choices. And then down the track are confused as to how we got there. Even though it was us who walked there, ran there, or were lead there kicking and screaming. It's our doing at the end of the day. Maybe it's time that if we do have dreams and things we want to actually grab them by the balls and go and make them happen. :)
