Walking

Sometimes it annoys me how easily people can just walk in and out of your life. It's something you don't have much control over but nobody's tied to someone forever. I believe that the people you meet help make you who you are and that they play an important part in your life, even if it is for a short amount of time. It's just weird how people can make such a big impact on your life, without you even realising it at the time.

Since I heard this on the 02 advert I've been addicted, weird but yes.

Chance

Recently, I've realised that so many things come down to chance. Once you start thinking about it, you start to notice just how much of your life is down to pure chance.

I guess it all started when I was thinking about Universities (inevitably) and how by picking your five choices - you are already limiting the people you'll meet in the future. It's crazy really. Even the friendships I have now are somewhat random. It's partly chance that you happened to be in the same country, in the same town, at the same time - perhaps even the same age if you're talking about friends you make at school. If I'd been in a different year group or brought up in a different county, I wouldn't have half the friends I have right now... I'd have different ones.

I think that we generally like to think we have an aspect of control over our lives, but really although we make some of the decisions - such as which five Uni's to put down, many things are just chance and we have little say in them. We can't possibly know for certain what the future will hold and in a way, I kinda like that.

Song: Just Give Me A Reason by Pink

Try

"Where there is desire there is gonna be a flame, where there is a flame someones bound to get burned. But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die - you gotta get up and try, try, try."
- Pink.

You can't just wait for what you want to come to you without no effort or your part - you have to work for some things yourself...

Fate

"Fate is like a strange, unpopular restaurant filled with odd little waiters who bring you things you never asked for and don't always like." - Lemony Snicket
