The most threatening word in the English Dictionary.
What happens when expectations are not met?
Disappointment.
The most frightening word in the English Dictionary.
What happens when disappointment clouds your judgement?
Bad choices.
Let me tell you about bad choices. They can be completely life-altering.
When people are asked, "If you could change one thing that happened in your life, what would it be?"
Most will tell you that they wouldn't change anything because they learned something from every experience, good or bad.
It's safe to say that people learn from their mistakes. My Goodness. What a cliché.
I learned a very interesting concept in my chemistry class the other day (and yes, I only pay attention when I can apply chemistry concepts to real life... which is pretty rare).
There's this thing called Entropy. A measure of chaos in the universe. All mathematical and logistical figures aside, it's a purely awesome concept.
How could I possibly quantify the disorder in my life? The chaos in my universe?
Well, simply put... I can't. I can't count the amount of times that I have made bad decisions.
But I can tell you one thing: those decisions have made me who I am today. They solidify my personality. They don't define me, per se... but they do define how I came to be.
So, to expectations, disappointment, and bad choices, I say cheers. Thank you for allowing me to get from point A to point B. Thank you for helping me grow in the most positive way. Thank you... for the entropy in my universe.
Another thank you goes out to Kelly Pearson, my best friend of five years (and counting), for helping me keep the chaos at bay. For watching me grow as a person, as a friend, and as a sister. And for always being there, no matter the time of day. I would like to conclude my cheesy sentimentality with a quote: "Go hard, today, can't worry about the past 'cause that was yesterday... imma put it on the line 'cause it's our time." Love you, Kellbell <3
