My friends father had a traffic accident and this made me thinking again what I always think about life.
That it is so random. Most important things in your life are decided by basically universe throwing a dice for you. Where you have born, to what kind of parents you have born, whether you were born with a serious defect/disease, whether you get a terrible disease later in life, your gender… list goes on.
One of the people I know, who had a good life and pretty successful, was sitting in her car waiting her husband, a tree near the road falls off on the car. Almost died, can’t walk, had many operations, her life is a mess now.
I made one of the most important decisions in my life just out of the blue. One day I was bored and thought “Can that be a problem, let me check that.” I prevented something terrible happening just by one day. What if I found something nice to do that night and didn’t think about it?
So random, everything is so random. Sure you also have a big impact on how the things go and how you deal with them, but at the end of the day, many very important things are just random.
Strange feeling, I just wanted to share that. SP, my place on the internet where I go and post when I feel overwhelmed with anxiety…

Yeah. The life changing things are always unexpected things in my life. I dwell a lot on the expected outcomes of my life and get depressed about it but I know from previous experience that random events can change any of it at any time. I suppose that’s why I carry on. Curiosity, because one never really knows. A lot of my problems I create myself by trying to control everything even though I know that it is futile and absurd.
Thanks for posting about this. It has made me feel better remembering and thinking about randomness and the way unexpected events can throw all my petty nonsense to the curb sometimes. It has made me a bit happy for the first time today which is great because it is 23:12 and now I don’t have to go to bed totally miserable!
