"Life is like a box of chocolates..."

i'd almost forgotten what it was like to sit down and talk with someone for hours, but to lose all concept of time. to have a few hours feel like one. to sit and listen and watch someone talk to you about something that really means something. or to feel like someone's not just listening to you, but that you are actually being heard.

it's funny how Life is. how you can have a plan, but usually Life doesn't really like to follow your set plan. Life is stubborn, independent and defiant. but Life is smart and caring also; it has it's own plan and sometimes you just have to trust it. you can push it away, and you can resist it with every bone in your body...but Life always wins. so why fight it? just accept that Life has a plan and sometimes it doesn't go the way you would like and sometimes it sucks...but you and Life have the same goal: your happiness. so why not just accept that things aren't going to go your way, and know that there is a bigger purpose behind everything? save yourself the grief.

i've been getting a few lessons in this lately...and not just in the small scale of a conversation venturing off course to completely new topics. bigger things. things that i'm realizing but can't quite let go of yet. but it will happen, i will let go eventually.
