Plans Plans Plans


It's funny how things don't end up the way you want it. I've never considered myself to be a fatalist but somehow I think fate has played a little game on me. Due to my illness I have missed an interview in which I thought I would have done exceptionally well as I've prepared for it, and missed an exciting new venture to a far away land. As I think more about it, I realise that it was not fate playing a game on me, but a consequence to my actions/choices. I know that it was my choice that has led me here. I chose to work those hours, I chose to wear that thinner coat, I chose to stay out later than I should have which ultimately led me to my unwanted illness. And as a result of these choices, I am stuck here in the country, working instead of taking a break from work. I was mostly looking forward to escaping the "rut" that I have gotten myself into, but I think maybe time away whether bedridden at home or in a strange and foreign country is just the medicine needed. And luckily this remedy does not taste bitter.

Noooo, you are being so hard on yourself cutie. Sometimes things just happen that are beyond our control. Like getting sick. Anyways, the point is that you deserved a break and I do hope that you get one soon. Tea and AGO in the meantime.
