People always say that it's good to stop sometimes and take some time out to reflect on how things are in your life. Anyone who says this to you has way too much free time on their hands and should be shot. But anyway, today I'm taking a two minute break to evaluate my life. Recent events has left my head in a bit of a swirl, but I'm hopeful that things will turn out for the best.

You know how as best as you may try not to have one, you actually do have a life plan? Think about it - stop what you're doing and ask yourself: "Is this what I imagined I'd be doing at age XX?" A lot of us will promptly say no, but for the precious few that actually say 'Yes', they're actually the ones who had no life plan to begin with. Sound confusing? Well the way I see it, the more you plan for life and sort things out and create your own timelines, the more you restrict yourself for having much fun or adventure in your life. There really is little that you can do to prepare yourself for what life has in store. There's no user manual, no training guide, no GPRS system that can tell you what you're supposed to be doing at this very moment in time.

Relating with this whole 'life plan', people also tend to plan out how their romantic life should turn out. Everyone has a picture of their ideal partner, with every detail sorted out - down to their very hair colour. But the truth is, what do you do when life doesn't seem to be giving you that person you've dreamed up? What if instead life delivers you a 89% match? Do you still fuss over the other 11% of a person that doesn't fit your description?
