Grace Undefined

I have always had very simple plans for my future. Find a job that I at least enjoy doing if not in love with was always first in my mind. Being a Pharmacy technician has been that job so far. I enjoy the work and the people. While there are bad days the good days more than make up for it. I have always seen myself living in my parents’ house and I plan to buy it from them when the time comes. I have also seen myself having children in this house just not always having a significant other in that house. Children have always been in my future plans. I never develop concrete ideas for my future. More like vague ideas of where I want to go and what I want to take with me. I have never planned to get a job where I make thousands of dollars a week. Just keeping that everything is paid for and maybe a little extra for a yearly vacation is more than adequate. That Vacation may not be in the Bahamas every year but that is perfectly okay.

Something that would twist my plans for my future would be if I met someone who could be “the One”. Every person talks about meeting that one person who completes them, that one person that lights up their world. I can honestly say that if I did meet someone who could do all of that for me I would be the most shocked person around. I have never put thought into what my other half would even be like. To meet that person should fill me with unimagined joy as far as I can tell. But that is only from what other people have told me about when they met their other half.

I have never thought of myself who can give so much of myself to someone else intimately like I feel would be necessary for me to get married or be in a permanent relationship. I couldn't even begin to plan what my life would be with someone who would mean so much to me in it. I see sharing my life with someone on such an intimate level like winning the lottery. Some people pray for it, others are convinced that one day it will happen while others view it as something that is never going to happen. While most people say everything falls into place once that person enters your life I see that I would have to change everything in my plans to some degree. Not because I had to, but because I would want to. I would want to make that person happy as I am sure they would want me to be happy. While I can see myself making the changes I would not be sure how much of it would be changes in my plans or in me.

I have accepted
Chance and change
And pushing of myself
To my limitation
I have
Accepted that when
I am given
Opportunity
It is alright
To take it
It is not selfish
Its acceptance
Things can occur and being
Given
Unselfishly
Are worth more
Than what I take
More than
what I want for
My own
That what I
Am given
But do not deserve
I am grateful for
I am accepting of
The forces that give it to me
I am thankful
For my family
Those who I have
Chosen and those
Who have chosen me
I am greatful

  1. Samantha,

    Very touching and sincere post. I am sure that you will encounter that person in your life, when you feel ready. I firmly believe that we all have several soul mates out there... it's just... can we catch them when they come passing through?

    How close are they?

    Well, I believe that they are presented to us only when we are ready for them.

    So, I have faith that your twist will meet you. Things will certainly change and the future... is unwritten.


    Great work. Very sincere.
