A theory is a contemplation or a speculation. To break it down even more, its merely a guess. So I like tp think that my life, thus far and more than likely in the future, is but a set of theories. What I think is right, what I think is wrong, what I want to do, what I need to do, what I am expected to do....
See, as a spiritual person, I believe God has a set out plan for every one of us. We go through our life trying to navigate that plan, either on our own or with His help, and we eventually come to a point where we finally "get it" or we just get lost on the journey there. So I look at the path God has already brought me. Random twists and turns, that honestly, I never thought I would be. For Example:
I had a conversation with my x just yesterday. Now, I have had my share of boyfriends, but in all retrospect, I've only really had ONE BIG relationship other than Devon and it was with the Gantalon. We spoke on the phone catching up and I made a statement that caught me off guard: "Gantalon, do you know that if I had not known Devon, I probably would have never gone out with you. Yep, I never would have given you a chance." "What? Why is that?" "Simple, its scary to say, but yall think the same, you have the same approach to life. I only just recently realized that. But see, I knew Devon first, and back then I thought he was slightly off his rocker. But see, once I had met you, I realized 'Well, apparently there are more than 1 person in the world that thinks this way and since the first one wasn't so bad, this one shouldn't be either.'" So of course he took it SO the wrong way. "So you're saying you dated me because I reminded you of someone else?" "No numb nuts!" He did say I use to call him names all the time, but I didn't say that. "You have to understand that someone before you laid the ground work that allowed you to play the role that you played in my life. Just like you laid the ground work for Devon in my life. Devon laid the ground work for you, which basically was Have an Open Mind. You laid the ground work for Devon by helping me realize what it truly was I wanted in a relationship and accept the hard work that comes with it."
I was proud of the analogy that I made. Even more so, it got me thinking. Every person, every place, every event has led to this moment right here. People ask how I got back to Texas, but honestly, my question is, what took me so long? I've always wanted to come back home. I just never had the guts, or motivation, to do something about it. Yes I got this awesome new job and yes, I got Devon. But even more so, I am in a place where I literally can do what it is that I've always wanted to do with my life. I've been thinking about taking the GMAT. I've been thinking about Culinary School. I've been thinking about my future and the many different directions it could go. I can't wait to see where I am in 6 months....
