Life Unplugged
Life is terribly fond of this so-called 'surprise' element. A surprise usually brings about a momentary shock. Yet this 'surprise' element of Life brings about a metamorphsis and a life-altering one at that. A complete change in direction.
And it is in the aftermath of this surprise, that a feeling of deflation arises. That feeling that someone has pulled the plug on you and you feel Life being drained out. And the realisation dawns that a lot of the things we obsess about don't matter. Such as 'Which university I get my degree from". Getting a job and advancing in your career take a lot more than a piece of paper.
Reminding myself, once again, as I always do, that 'life goes on', I find I have to tear myself from the past and focus on where I am in my life at this moment. So I patch that hole, and find another source to pump some life into me.
