"She took comfort in the pure randomness that surrounded her, accepting that no one escapes, knowing that it could happen to anyone at anytime...pain, happiness, confusion, even love."
I love this quote. My friend gave it to me a few years ago, and I found it again today amongst a stack of old lesson plans and copies of worksheets from my job in Minnesota. It took on new meaning for me today. Sometimes I feel like I am surrounded by pure randomness--I know it is not random to those who grew up here, but to me it seems that way most of the time--I struggle with the daily things and make huge efforts to do things that take natives only minutes to do! Sometimes I spend hours trying to make sense of something that should be quite simple only to be left completely confused! Even so, life is good--randomness is good. I embrace the randomness around me--eventually, it starts to seem not so random anymore. Anyway, I am not going to say a lot tonight, I will spare you my futile attempts to express my thoughts in a profound way and let the quote speak for itself.
