I stole this from my last blog. I felt that it was still very appropriate for what’s been the latest.
The What-Ifs Syndrome
Simplicity and sweetness – two words we long for in our lives yet simultaneously push away in moments of spontaneity and adventure. We prefer the chaos and excitement even when it means sacrificing all that we once stood for. What meant something to us becomes lost in that spur of the moment decision. But what about when it is the other way around? Simplicity and sweetness chosen over spontaneity? Possible? Most would say – too good to be true or impossible or there’s no such thing. I disagree. I find that a lot of the times our minds distort the most beautiful things in our lives to the point that it is or they are unrecognizable, disgusting, and convoluted. It becomes this mess we wish we had never touched. It’s about our mentality or to put it harshly – our heart attitudes. Who or what are we aligning our lives to? What makes us regret so much, want to turn back time, correct past mistakes, run away? If anything, it’s not simplicity. It’s not sweetness, but our want for something more – supposedly better until we end up with the what-ifs syndrome… until we’re reminded that what could have been, should have been, but this time, we messed up.
