I love this. 'When one door closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.'
It's so ridiculously true. So many times in life you have something and for whatever reason it ends or disappears. That's a door closing. Sometimes we seem to struggle to grasp the concept that something is finished or over. We cling to it as if it's not ended in the hope it'll re-open. It's really an unfortunate thing. Like the quote says, a new door opens and we don't see it.
So a door's closed in your face. You're upset, you stand head against the door crying. But you don't turn around! There's a new door open behind you. Shock horror! You turn and see the door and what do you do? That's your big decision. Do you try and move forwards through the new door? Or do you cling to the door you're at praying it'll re-open.
I don't think there's a right answer there really. I'd like to say that the right answer is turn around and sprint through that door as fast as you can and don't look back. But maybe it's not the right answer? I can't tell you!
I'm assuming most people will read this and assume it's about relationships. But not really. Yes it does have a lot to do with relationships but it's the same in any aspect of life really. Losing something and not realizing there is something newer waiting for you. It really is hard though, when you've got something that you know,
You're comfortable with,
You think it's easy,
You like it,
But when it ups and leaves. What have you got then? Well to be perfectly harsh. Nothing.
Relationships, they end. We all know they do. Nothing is forever right? Wrong. It is what you make it. You control it. Well, that two of you do. Break-up's are hard, I know. But you never know who might pop up out of the blue. If you break up with someone or they break up with you, everything happens for a reason. IF you break up, then it was never meant to be. But with relationships you've got to go through all the shitty doors first before you find that one door, that's perfect for you. Everything happens for a reason, everything. There is something better out there for you.
There is always ALWAYS a new door waiting for you. Sometimes you might even have to open it, sounds like a lot of effort, I know. A door is an opportunity, for you, for your life. Why not take it?
You might have to open doors.
You might go through some wrong doors? Bad doors maybe?
You might be scared to go through some doors.
YOU might even have to find some doors.
But when you find them, open them, or are scared of them. Say Fuck it. Run 100 mile an hour through that door, you never know what is on the other side and you know what?
That's the greatest part of all. It's so exciting. That's life for you. You never really know what's coming or what's next. Everything is so unpredictable, it's brilliant. People do as they want, change when they want. Nature does what it wants. Some might say that's a scary thought and I guess yeh it kind of is. But look at the other side of it. It's so exhilarating. Every day should both excite and inspire you. Even if things are really shit in your life and you think you won't recover from something, you know you can. You never know whats coming next.
Don't plan your life. Don't not do things because of a plan. Live your life how you want. It's your life, so yeh it's about you. It's your story, write it and make it a damn good story.
