Poropings: A year-ender


You know how people line up their plans for next year just when the year starts to end? I am never into that kind of thing. Many friends have told me I am a free spirit, wild and free-willing. But, it always comes to that point where you just have to stop, think and plan ahead.

Looking back at what happened to me for the past year, (years even) I would say I am a leaf thrown about in the winds. No direction, happy-go-lucky as is. I have been quite irresponsible, careless and you can insert more negative attitudes here. I spent too much time trying to figure out what makes the world go round.

Focus. That was an advice I got from a fortune teller. Maybe it was cold reading, maybe not. But with that word I was nudged, compelled to move, to act on and not just react.

I went where my feet take me. It was about taking chances, and grasping opportunities that came my way. I regret nothing. I don't regret giving up my job for going back to school, I don't regret shifting to another course. I don't regret transferring from a state university to a local private college, and I don't regret having to start all over again.

I followed my heart. It wouldn't be hard to understand when I say I've learned to love again. The poropings will tell you! Maybe it was the cards the fortune teller drew out. Maybe it was just coincidence. If everything in life was taking chances, no matter how coincidental it was, it was all up in the air until I acted on it.

My mind is clear. If I would plan something for next year, it would be to focus more on my studies. That's my top priority as of now. I can't stay immature. I will, eventually, need to grow up. I am capable of growing up, and I will. Experience tells me I need to take on life and sail the winds. Not be thrown about by currents.

The poropings will help me. They will.
