pirateyetiSo when you are young, you have dreams that you will aspire to greatness. Be firefighter, fighter pilot, air/sea rescue diver, or a velociraptor. Well, life sure does throw its best at you to dash those dreams, and one day you find yourself sitting inside of a cubical (with a window mind you...!) staring at the "to-do" list that continues to grow with every breath you take, and it makes you pause and reflect to what you wanted to be and how you wanted your life to turn out.
Turns out... not quite that glorious vision you once had.
In fact, no where close to it.
You are thankful for what you have, what you have been through, but also look around at certain people and wonder why their "according to plan" always works out, when you have to fight, tooth and nail, to get just a bit further than you currently are.
Oh well, life is like poker it seems like, you play with the cards dealt to you and hope you won't lose it all on the river.
This post has no actual point, other than reflecting can be both good and bad. Happy and sad times behind you, and fear in front of you.
