Irony

Totally my favourite word...
It pretty much sums up life in all it's mystery.
Life isn't fair so get used to it....the motto I swear by.
As long as it's unfair in my favour...I'm not complaining :-)

I'm listening to Castles Made of Sand by Jimi Hendrix.
Trying to figure out as to whether destiny truly exists.
Why we rarely have a clue as to how our lives are gonna turn out...
and how we look back,wondering  "How would things have been if I'd done that ? ".
Truth is....you'll never know...not by the wisdom you have today not by what you had back then.
The best you can truly do....is give it you best shot and keep fingers crossed.
Have the right intentions...make your move and leave things to take on a life of their own.

I think about the people who I am drawn to at every step and people that I think are bad for me.
How we find friends in most unexpected of souls....
and ironically find the most significance in the ones we loathe.
The ones who teach us.....the ones who shape us without even knowing it.
The ones we chose to let go and the ones we never give up on.

Irony by definition is a sum of opposites...rhetoric,hypocrisy,deception...call it whatever you want.
It's what complements and completes.
So I've decided to accept life as Irony and keep pushing at all costs....
To keep going in the direction I choose regardless of the outcome..
and if I'm lucky to be able to recognise and make the most of Irony.
