that's just how the cookie crumbles.

been thinking a lot lately.

i was always the kind of person that had things figured out.
i had this vision, this path, this trail i was gonna follow.
and for the most part, i think i'm coming close to the end.

thing is, i never envisioned how complicated it would be.

i never realized that you couldn't have everything you want,
or never realized that how far away you need to be to reach it,
or never realized how much you have to live without.

i guess in a way it forces you to realize what you want most.
or at the very least, what top things you want and the things
that you have to learn to let go or live without.

that's just life, i guess.

and as the creator of gilmore girls, amy sherman-palladino says;

"...disappointment makes you who you are in life; 
left turns make you who you are and you don't plan for those.
that's what makes you an interesting person..."

i couldn't agree more.
