things are complicated. things are simple. it's an incredibly fine line that seems to meander back and forth like a leaf bouncing whimsically on a breeze. this is neither novel nor particularly insightful on my part but what i really find interesting is the sheer fragility of the stasis.
something that may have taken years to build can crumble at any instant. not because everything we do is fatal but because no one is perceptive enough to predict uncertainties and as human beings we are constantly misleading one another. intentional or otherwise. false impressions are created, false expectations sewn.
it's just funny how significantly our lives and more specifically our relationships are dependant on so much that rests beyond our control. i know i've spent plenty of time wondering about fate, serendipity or whichever adjective you prefer. in the end though, it's a futile pursuit. it doesn't really matter what you call it or how you characterize it. the fact that random events happen and affect our lives is indisputable. trying to decipher that riddle is an impossible task.
everyone can and should define that for themselves.
it's both defeatist and comforting to know this, depending on how you look at it. certainly it's a lesson in enjoying the moment and savouring what is in front of you. way easier said then done, but always worth reinforcing.
personally a healthy acceptance of this goes a long way in bolstering my ability to cope with sudden situational changes. unfortunately my acceptance is as a result of dealing with some unforeseen shitiness but i realize that no one is immune to that.
there is no lesson to be learned other then awareness for awareness sake. that and sometimes it's best to just laugh at the absurdity of how things play out. for better, for worse. laughing always makes it better.
