New Chapters

One Door Closes and another one opens.
That is what people are always saying.
They make it sound so sequential.
But what happens when several doors close
and even more open
all at the same time
what do you then?

You cry
You feel confused
You wonder…
what do you grieve over and what do you celebrate?
Why can’t life come with a pause button?
So that you can just stop and take inventory over everything

It feels like when you just finish a great book
Your sad because you can no longer follow that character’s journey
But then you start another great book
and another
and another
but all the stories become jumbled
and you don’t understand why Cindrella has lost her slipper at a club
where the first rule of fight club is you don’t talk about fight club

And you cant remember the small details that make that book special.
But life is not a bunch of character’s stories getting jumbled together.
It is your stories getting jumbled together
And you losing the details of your own life
Because everything is going too fast
And everything is changing
And you don’t know whats good or bad anymore

But that’s what new chapters are all about
You don’t know whats going to happen when you turn the page.
The comfort is in the fact that it is all written down in a book
In life there is no such comfort
Be aware of the details because if you miss them, there are no second chances
Your standing at a new door with no clue how you got there.
