The thing about making long term plans is that there are too many variables; No matter how good the plan is, and no matter how many contingency plans you've made, there simple are too many variables to account for. Sometimes it feels like paddling a raft in the middle of an ocean. Storms don't come here too often, but when it comes, there's no way of knowing where you'll end up. I guess it's the fear of ending up in a place where I don't want to be. But what leads me to believe that this isn't where I wanted to be? Is it because that's what everyone else thinks? None of us wants to end up on a desert island, but it does happen, and surprisingly often, too.
