The grass is much
greener on the other side! or so I thought. Being on the other side has taught
me a very valuable lesson: Life will not
always turn out how you want it to!
We have all been
there, we have reached for the stars, arms beckoning, imagining how glorious and
fruitful our lives will be, only to be hit smack bang in the face with reality
: We don’t always get what we want! It is with this realisation that I find
myself sitting alone on a park bench, wondering why my life has turned out the
way it has. Did I take the wrong turn somewhere? If so, where?
I sit gazing
onto the field with the sun on my face and a dog yapping at my feet. I feel
scared, alone and insecure. Where do I turn? Which road should I take? What do
I do now?
All these
questions are swirling in my head, threatening to drive me insane.
I look at those
around me and see them achieving and striving and I can’t help but feel a
twinge of jealousy.
I aimed high,
followed my hearts desire to a certain extent, but to no avail. That path didn’t work for me, but that doesn’t
mean it won’t work for you.
All I can do is
hope, hope and pray that tomorrow will be a better day; that the sun won’t go
down on me. All I can do is hope for a better tomorrow!
