“The truth is you don’t know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride, and nothing is guaranteed.” -Eminem
This is both scary and relieving at the same time. I mean nobody really knows. We have this idea and our rituals, but really we just do those things to create a sense of control over uncertainty. Which is good. I love my routines that bring me a sense of order and control. But let’s be honest, tomorrow hasn’t come yet. Neither of us knows what we’re in for. I personally thrive on uncertainty.
Understand though, I’m not looking for a roller coaster lifestyle riddled with yolo. I have a deep love for boredom and doing the same thing every day of my life. That includes eating the same things everyday. (Yes, I’m one of those.) But I like to try new foods and pencil in mini adventures. I like to make time to travel and enjoy new spaces.
I think not knowing should scare us in a gentle way, to remind us to be more present, more patient, or more honest with ourselves and those we love. At the same time, I think it’s relieving because all our tomorrows are filled with endless possibilities. I think this is a fantastic and realistic way to look at life.
