Ever noticed the 'low' after coming back from a good trip? Just got back from an amazing European adventure and gone straight back into uni and work and all that other good stuff that I refer to as 'Reality'. Some times when we were away just wanted to go home. But now that I'm back all I wanna do is go back on holiday to relax again. You know, I dont think I even remember what its like now to be on holiday. That calm, relaxed, 'nothing to worry about feeling'. I now have to worry about how I get places, what time I do things even how and where I'm gunna eat, whilst away I didnt need to do that.
Maybe our whole lives should be holiday and instead of 'taking a holiday' we could visit Reality??? How would that work? We'd spend all our time not worrying about anything and then enjoy the day to day decisions and things that otherwise we'd live without... Well maybe thats just wishful thinking.
But I think its a common thing - we want the opposite of what we have. If we're stuck at home we want holidays, if we're on holidays we want to be home, if we have straight hair we want curly hair, if we have straight hair we want curly hair and the list could go on forever. Maybe its time that we stop thinking of what it would be like if only we had X, and started living the hand we've been dealt...
Ever heard the saying "when one door closes, another one opens"? Perhaps you've heard "when GOD closes one door he opens two more"? I dont know that these are necessarily true. I think I prefer this one,
"When God closes a door, He opens a window"
My holiday is over and now I need to get back to the real world but I dont feel like I'm walking through a wide open door, it feels more like I'm trying to squeeze through a much smaller gap. Yes its tricky and I may not enjoy it, but I know that EVENTUALLY - even if I cant see it, this Reality is the important stuff... not so much the holiday...
