Life is given to you

What wisdom have I acquired over the past seven years?

To be honest, I don’t care about finding another job or chasing the next dream. I have done all I can, there is nothing left for me to do. It’s time for me to stop trying to make life, and start living the life that is given to me. Whatever that might be.

I have spend so much time finding places to live, applying for jobs and chasing men. And in the end, I am exactly where I was seven years ago. Single, unemployed and okay, I have a roof over my head, but I can’t really call it a home. So, maybe I was trying too hard. Life is given to you, my late great coach Caroline once said to me. At the time I wasn’t sure what she meant by that. But maybe what she was trying to say was, create space for coincidence, let opportunities come to you. Don’t paddle against the current, go with the flow.

For years I thought, I need a house, a job and a relationship and then I can finally start living. But life unfolds every day as you are working towards your dreams. And most opportunities present themselves when you least expect them.
