Sometimes in life you are looking for something and you do not know what you are looking for. Sometimes, the thing you are looking for is right under your nose, but you fail to see it.
Sometimes it takes a bad phase in your life to come and make you realize that you dont need to go very far in your search for the things you have always wanted.
Sometimes it is right there in front of you, and all you need to do is to walk and claim what has always been yours.
Why do some things elude us till we stop running after them, and then they just come fluttering to us? So calmly, so easily, as if they were always meant to come to us. Why do we sometimes think that something is very important to us, and losing it realize it isnt? Why on losing something that we thought was important, we realize that something totally different is much more precious, and we have never realized it?
I was going through a rough patch. Rough is a relative word. Maybe my rough was not as rough as that of some people I know, some blogs I follow. When I look around me, I see people going through worse situations, and being brave about it. It gives me the strength to be brave in my situation.
There are some things in life I am unlucky with. On the other side, there are some things I am very lucky with. In the end it balances out. Or maybe tilts a little bit more on the lucky side. In the end life just happens.
Sorry for the abstract thoughts. I will not be able to answer tags or write "happy" posts, not for some time. Bear with me. I have been rescued by an angel, and I consider myself very lucky. I need to ensure that the angel stays beside me forever. And I hope the angel realizes how much being rescued means to me.

I sometimes wonder whether life's about chasing dreams or chasing reality... but one thing's clear - it is a chase, a never-ending one.

First of all, what a gorgeous photograph. It's somehow fitting that someone with the username Merlin would use a photograph of Prague. In seeing pictures from around the world, I've always thought that if magic is possible, it is most likely to happen in Prague. It's something about the wealth of statues there. Magic paused.
ReplyDeleteI like your blog, and I enjoy free form, abstract thoughts.
I hope things get better soon. What was the last significant problem you faced? Don't tell me, tell yourself what it was. The important thing is that if you can answer the question, it means you are now looking back at the problem, having passed it by, having gotten through it.
Someday, whatever is troubling you now will be like that. A life you look back at over your shoulder. Take care.
