When, How, Where and Why
Weekend Engagement Option two - "When was the first time you took your destiny into your own hands..."
Trailing down the mists of time, how to answer best is I don't know, you see when I was a wee lass I mucked around with my brothers and their friends most/all of- the time.
I suppose it was part of being allowed to investigate every stone upturned, climb trees to be part of the clan.
When looking down the rabbit hole perhaps around start of teenage years, always driven to be outdoors since being a girl, most chores were boring and indoors!
Much more fun going with the guys swinging on monkey ropes where you could easily break your arm or neck. Possibly explore under ground up water pipes through the village, yeah boys had more inventive ideas when getting to do fun.
Setting sail out of teenage years one is expected to grow up, Growing up you take your destiny into your own hands, at your own peril!
Destiny is a journey, perhaps I never took it into my own hands, life happened with adjustments after turmoil, followed inner voice seeking answers, then when finding "answers" a blurred vision of the right way.
Steering or guiding oneself, do we ever know our destiny with all the surprises along life's road?
After much thought I do not believe anyone is able to control their own destiny, we flounder throughout seeking a light to guide, or a buoy to hold us up.
Boldly stride forward reaching toward an end where we feel somewhat in control, that destiny you desired at fifteen slipped through your fingers, now turn back in bewilderment amazed you got this far.
Photo before, then creative in GIMP to reveal searching for light or hanging onto buoy...
Many try control you, guide you, do they know you? How does one reach your destiny when only you know your history.
Unable to control my destiny, if wishes are for fishes I want to end up in water be it mist or sea to float around forever, somehow be useful on reaching my end destiny.
