(Un)planned Life by Wayne Hayes
“we’re going to the movies, I hope you have a good time at home .” Sent at 9:04 PM, just before disaster hit . Would you think that god planned this? Planned to hurt your loved ones, with even worse in sight . They planned for the movies four days ago . You planned for them to come to your graduation . You planned your whole life… or not . Those are the words that make me think or not . Life is a very amazing thing . However, the worst thing about life is the lingering randomization . Life is something people plan, something people build up, yet life isn’t something you can just predict on a meter or on a widespread Google Doc . That random factor of life is what I fear . My goals are something to look forward to . However, would life itself look forward to the same things? Ever-changing, why would that be fair? It is . When people say, “Life isn’t fair,” they aren’t lying . From your status to your own birth, everything is random to us . You don’t get a say in anything . You get born, you follow your parents, you go to school, you get a job . A life .
“Unemployment is at an all time high . The current generation needs to step it up!” Okay . So you get born, you follow your parents, you go to school, you hopefully get a job . Life .
“As you were born, you see your parents have no money . They are distraught about having a baby as that’s another mouth to feed . ”
“That’s great . So you get born . Hopefully your parents love you even if you weren’t wanted . Going to school is probably hell, as kids are bullies . You desperately need a job .”
I plan to become a programmer with computers, or a streamer of some sort . My parents and I are planning something here or there . But the way I see it is this: you don’t plan life . You can’t plan life .
Life is a world of surprises .
