certainty

[titania]

There I was, 21 and thinking that I knew what it was all about
As time went on, I was convinced that I had life all figured out,
22, 23, 24 all drifted by on this certainty, it felt so good to know that I understood!

25 now and I realise that what I really knew was nothing,
that there’s so much more to learn,
nothing is certain, everything changes,
my heart, my mind, my spirit are always growing, always seeking,

That certainty is gone, but a strange joy has taken its place,
The joy of knowing that I don’t know,
The joy of being willing to learn more,
The joy of opening my spirit to new things,
The beautiful joy of freedom and uncertainty.

titania - that is just beautiful and especially true.

I still don't know what I do want at 26, but even though the future is uncertain, it's certain that things will not be boring.. and I look forward to it, even though it may drive one nuts sometimes.

Happy 25th

^^^Thanks Biski! :D

it's been on my mind for a while, but i've been battling to figure out exactly what it was (if that makes any sense at all...), but putting it into words, helps LOADS!!

i think we both see the world the same way...isnt it fucking awesome when u have a look around and realise you dont have to know everything and don't need everything and are happy just being

what the ladies have already said, me too...

It used to drive me nuts.....every year I thought I'd figured it out and then BANG something new would come up and I'd have no idea how to deal with it and be really distraught.

Now I realise that life is all about learning. You don't need to know all the answers, you just need to trust that you're a strong enough person you can learn to cope with whatever the world throws at you next.

Well said Raz! And now and then, just when you need it most the world lets you rest. Those are some good times too, no matter how fleeting or imperfect.

Titania love, this is so striking! Cycles keep going on and on throughout your life, but the changing scenery is well worth the journey.

Thanks guys!

And it's so good to know that others have had or are having the same thoughts! :D
