… I love a neat and tidy life, I really do! I love everything to be in it’s place, I don’t like knots and kinks, neither do I like twists and turns. I like it to be smooth and straight. I hate conflict, I really hate it! I like to live and let live. I like peace, I like harmony, I like serenity. I like calmness and gentleness. I do not want to upset anyone and I don’t like to be upset. Generally, I love to do good. I love good people, straight and honest ones. I do not like complex and complicated situations. I sincerely hate to hurt or offend anyone. I like life to run in an orderly course, one after the other, one finishes and the next commences, no overlayering.
But life is nothing like that! It is full of twists and turns. It is layered, twisted and turned, it is bendy and bumpy. Don’t get me wrong, I do my best to straighten out my life, but like a recalcitrant child it snaps out of my grip every now and then and does it’s own thing. Things are not as sequenced as I want them to be, behaving like the impatient new tooth unwilling to wait for the milk tooth to fall out before commencing it’s own journey, creating a very higgledy piggledy look. I hate to admit but sometimes, my life looks very higgledy piggledy. It is complicated!
I offend people (not intentionally though) and people offend me. Some I understand, some I don’t. Some get me, some don’t. Some like me, some don’t. Some I like, others I am not hot on and the journey goes on. With each waking day, aiming to make the best of the life I find mself in. I am doing the best I know to do, to make it neat and tidy. Like my son’s bedroom, sometimes I wonder if it is worth the effort, maybe just let things be and they all just fall into place in the end. As my dentist says, the teeth will all fall into place and find their level and space, things get straighten out in the end. (though I have seen some that never do! 🤔)
Ah! What am I to do? It is my life and I just live it to the best I know!
Live your life the best way you know, it is not always a straight line.
