The path chosen

She had avoided him for days. She couldn't see the point any more. Or else she didn't want to. She was fine now. And even if she wasn't she had to see him. And so she did.
She promised herself it would be fine. She promised herself she wouldn't care. But when he came and she laid her eyes on him she found it all coming back. In fact her heart had already accelerated just in the mere anticipation.
Damn! She thought. What was she to do? She had contemplated the same for days and hours, thinking and wondering and pondering.

But at that moment it came to her. Why think? Why wonder? She had a crush, maybe more. But why did she have to worry of what might be and not just enjoy what she had now? What good had come of the mindless hours of thinking?
She couldn't predict the future nor did she have any idea of what she would do herself. What she could remember at that moment was what a friend had told her while giving career advice- “Go With The Flow”. And that is exactly what she decided to do.
She suddenly found herself much calmer and much more at peace. No more anxiety and confusion. Her heart beat slowed down. She could look him in the eye, exchange a full smile and enjoy the flutter that she felt within. Enjoy. That was the sole purpose of life wasn't it? To enjoy one's existence. Not merely live with the pondering of crap that has happened or may happen. Just live in the moment.
True one can't apply that to all circumstances in life but where one can one must. Too much time is always wasted in thinking of actions and consequences but what is not understood is that the actions will happen and the consequences will follow irrespective of what may have been thought of or not, expected or not, prepared for or not.
What has to happen will and nothing can change that.
So she sat back, smiled to herself and thought, I am going for a ride let me sit back and enjoy it. Why worry about the destination? It will be faced when it comes. And mind you not all paths are taken for the destination, some are just taken to enjoy the route that it takes...
