TWENTY-TWO



My entire life can be described in one sentence:
It didn’t go as planned, and that’s ok.

When I first read this I thought, “Thank God it didn’t go as I planned.” What I have learned is that I dreamed to small. I didn’t plan for any of the real challenges, some of which were tough. But I also didn’t plan for any of the benefits and joys that came out the other side of those challenges. 
Then I thought, yes, there are somethings that I had planned (hoped for) that didn’t happen, and it has turned out to be ok. Yes, there is some sadness with some of those things I think I missed out on. I have had to spend my time grieving the loss of some of those dreams. But I have been giving other dreams. I now have other hopes. I am just not so wrapped up in the expectations of the outcomes as I used to be.
