Needing a map

The philosophy and otherwise irrelevant ramblings of a struggling poet.

Sunday, May 04, 2003

Sometimes a game mirrors life. You spend time and effort to gain experience, or points, and in a few seconds, sometimes through no fault of your own, you lose all of it. You have to start from scratch, re-evaluate your strategy, and spend more time and effort to reach toward your goal.

The world spins around you. You spin with it. The dizzying process of life and experience eats away at your spirit, sometimes leaving you feeling empty and used, and useless. You have to examine your life, start from scratch, re-evaluate your strategy and start again.

It is often said that life isn’t a dress rehearsal, and while this is certainly not true, there are certain things that one can do retakes on. There is no doubt that the world offers opportunity to further oneself in education, and employment. Being a career student is not necessarily a bad thing to be…I guess. No one ever said your first romance had to be the right one (Thank God!!).

The seasons change, and life moves on. We are all changed bit by bit, or leap by leap. We go to work, we come home. We sleep, sometimes, we go to school, sometimes. We go to work again and come home again. Through out all this we learn who we are, what we are and more importantly, what we are not.

We spend time and effort, make mistakes, lose everything we have worked for, and once again have to start from scratch.
