At the start of things..

“Things always look the most promising at the beginning of things.”

That IS the thing about new beginnings isn’t it. I can’t think of a time when hope shines any brighter than when at the start of things.

“When you’re at the start of things… all you can imagine when you close your eyes… is how brimming with potential everything is, how great and wonderful things are going to turn out……..”


“But then… life just sorts of… take over… and run its own course. And you find that things don’t always go the way you expect them to… things change, priorities change, PEOPLE… change… “

“Things don’t turn out the way we hope them to. We meet obstacles along the way, an detour, a delay, a change…. Somewhere along the line we always find ourselves having to accept that the things we vision in our head don’t always translate into the realities of this world

“And we sort of just thread along. We adapt, we compromise, we accept things as they are. We shrug our shoulders and say ‘Hey, life’s like that. Still gotta live right?’… And we go on.”

Sometimes I wish things could just stay the way they are right at the beginning.. full of positive vibes, full of hope, full of potential, full of promise. No compromises, no disappointment, no cold biting truth of reality that the dreams in your head often ended being just that - dreams..
