Life is Unpredictable
Because life is unpredictable, what you know or think you know can change drastically.
Recently my friends and I have experienced an almost unbelievable amount of life changes. Before we knew it, a great many of the things we knew changed, and changed drastically.
This has been emotional, disturbing, and incredibly difficult to wrap one’s head around. It has been a highly surrealistic example of how much life is unpredictable.
What you know at this moment as the reality you live in can be changed almost instantly. Those changes may be good, bad, or even neutral. The unavoidable truth of it, though, is that life will change, and change unexpectedly.
This can be particularly difficult when you are not seeking to make any changes. Life may be going along swimmingly, you know what you know and where you are going to. But then…abruptly everything is different.
The unpredictable can be emotionally trying
Many of the most unpredictable happenings in life come with deep emotion attached to them. Relationships ending, deaths, sudden and unexpected departures. When your world is making sense and then out of nowhere makes no sense at all it’s almost impossible not to get emotional.
