Maybe it was all part of the plan — A reflective journey
Maybe, just maybe.
As I sit here, reflecting on the twists and turns of my life, I wonder if everything was meant to be. Was it fate that led me down this path, with all its detours and dead ends? Maybe I should've taken a different route, listened to advice, or trusted my instincts from the start.
But what if these experiences, painful as they've been, were necessary to shape me into who I am today? What if every tear I cried, every regret I harbored, and every moment of uncertainty were all part of a larger plan? I think about the what-ifs – what if I had taken that opportunity, what if I had listened to my mom's words of wisdom? Would I be where I am today?
I've been broken, shattered by the weight of expectations and comparisons. The mockery from others, the feeling of stagnation, and the sense of wasted time have all taken their toll. There were times I felt like I deserved compensation for the pain, like life had unfairly dealt me a bad hand.
I questioned God's plan, wondering if He had given up on me, tired of my failures and setbacks. I felt like I was stuck, watching my peers achieve milestones I struggled with, feeling left behind as they moved forward with their lives.
