I sometimes take for granted all of the fortune my life has had, when I focus heavily on the negative aspects. For much like when a cookie crumb falls, we get so preoccupied with the crumbs, that we forget to enjoy the cookie.
Weird analogy I know, but after the day I had, that's all I could think of. Yes, I also know that writing this as if I was directly speaking to you can be a little odd, but nonetheless, when the cookie crumbles, our stomachs rumble.
Okay okay, that was also lame! This has nothing to do with cookies, eating, or even crumbs, this has to do with the process in which I am currently in, trying to nitpick every aspect of my life, as I attempt to take full control.
Like when crumbs fall, you have no say where or how they land, you just attempt to pick them up, and clean. If we would apply the same idea in our lives, I think we'd live a happier life. If we let go, and gave up that control issue we develop in time, I bet your life, and mine would fall exactly into the place it was meant to.
To many times we try to force things to occur, taking away from the organic process of all of the various wonders in life. For a while, I've been stressing over my lack of social and romantic life. Yes, the cookie is crumbling and yes, no one is trying to clean up the crumbs.
I have learned that all things will unfold in their own time, and how that happens is in NO WAY in my control. Being this strong person, and very anal about structure, it is difficult for me, but like anything in life, some things are just better left to figure out itself.
So as my life begins to take me on this unknown journey, as the crumbs of my life begin to fall, I will not try to clean up, and decide where the crumbs will go, instead, like the cookie that crumbles, I will relish in the new delights, and take it one small crumb at a time.
