Straight and true, two words that could never really be applied to life. I can't speak for everyone of course, however I've never met a person whose life has run straight and true; That is to say, perfectly as desired. Mine included of course.
Life is full of unknowns that often skew us from desired course, and can even change our course completely, bringing us new destinations and journeys. No matter how hard we try to steer a straight line through life it is simply impossible.
I spent some time seeking that perfectly straight line and failed miserably. Now I set the destination (goal) and head in that general direction taking the steps (actions) along the way with the intention being to bring me closer to it. Invariably that journey begins to drift from the straight and true though, and I find I have to assess, reevaluate and re-plot the course to keep me heading in the right direction.
Life doesn't run on rails; It's fluid, flexible and ever-changing which is why we need to be also. We never know what may run us off the rails, a worldwide pandemic maybe...Who would have thought.
I believe I am successful in my journey if I am heading in the right general direction and am evaluating along the way to make adjustments as required. To hope for much more than this is a fools errand.

Love what you did with the colors here!
Thank you, I appreciate your comment greatly.
Yes. Life is a meandering journey filled with twists, turns hopes, dreams, successes, failures victories and tragedies.
I think the trick is to arrange it all in to some kind of semblance of order and try and formulate a plan and a loose, flexible roadmap to keep us basically on course. The pandemic is a pretty unique situation in the sense that it affected such a sheer number of people from every corner of the globe, so it had a 'all in it together' vibe.
Peronal struggles, battles and upheavals in many ways can feel like lonely roads, causing scars that we must bear without others really knowing how it feels. Sometimes those scars make us something akin to veterans and give us a heroic inner strength to carry on, other times they touch us profoundly.
However stop this world I wanna get off is a request that will fall on deaf ears. So we carry on, embracing the whole montage of everything hoping that we can find meaning and a reason to be better.
Happy travelling my friend, journey well :)
It's all we have, this life of ours, so we may as well do our best with it. Of course, many do not, although they are the ones who will need to deal with their own regrets and, indeed, may not even feel them. Life is as individual thing, unique, played out in the company of others.
Yes indeed. Sometimes the 'others' add to the experience, other times they do not. There is an onus on us to act accordingly in each situation.
