What I've learned is that you can't plan out everything that happens in your life. We worry too much about mystery and try to spend our lives figuring out the unknown without remembering to take in the beauty that's right in front of us. What ever happens is meant to happen, regardless of anything you do to try and fight fate. I spent my summer in NY, waking up and having a full day of exploring a city that was completely unknown to me. I remember once walking down into a subway station with my headphones on, and got on a train that was headed uptown, opposite of where I was going. I didn't attempt to get off, but simply leaned back and let the train take me wherever, and it was the most at peace I've felt with myself in months. No service on my phone, I just observed those in a hurry to complete the next task on their lists, without a worry in the world about what my next steps were. Spending my days not knowing what was going to happen next in my life and being frightened yet excited is something that everyone should experience, and something people sadly forget to. We can't be so afraid to experience the unknown, something we have absolutely no clue about, and to just walk around aimlessly without a plan.
