Life happens just like a blink of an eye. Days to months to years merely like a day of yesterday. When you start entering 20s life, everything just seems complicated. So many things that you have to face, many achievements that you have to pursue, many plans that you have to build, many questions that you’re contemplate for and others of many things that took you overwhelmed just to think about it.

To my dearest reader, it’s okay.. Its okay to overwhelmed over something that you still confused what to do next, what you’re going to face in forward, and what step that you should take at the moment. Its okay to questioning everything that happens in our life, because after all we’re human and we’re still learning and growing by the time when we made a mistake. We confused over something that we had no idea about it, and that’s normal. It’ll take a few times to understood something, to realized something. Sometimes you have to take much time to understand something that you still haven’t found the answer.

There’s no life that supposed to be perfect from the start. There’s no person who never learned any mistakes or even failures in their life. Every person in this whole world may at least experienced it once in their lifetime. Even when we were a kid who learned to walk, aren’t we all experienced to fell at first before we possible to walk properly? So its okay, there’s no shame for being confused or even made a mistake when we actually learned from it.

People are tend to make a mistake to learn and so they can grow from it.

There’s a day when all we have to do is just take a sit, take many deep breaths as you can, and let everything happens the way it is. Sometimes when life gives you something that seems unwanted for you, all we can do is just facing the real acceptance. To accept that life isn’t always on the right track, it surely a normal thing. That life is full of uncertainties. You don’t have idea what will happen tomorrow, next week, next month, or someday. You expect something, but life gave you other thing that you didn’t expect.

Life is when you expect lemon but turns out they give you lemonade. We never knew its the best thing for us, because what we expect at first is just ‘lemon’ not a lemonade. You’ll need take a moment of time to realize in the end that lemonade is way better than just a ‘lemon’. That’s why life is full of uncertainty. They give you something that you wouldn’t expect, but in the end its the best way for us. We’re learning from those, we’re growing from those things, and so we know what actually life is about. Instead of focusing on something that has to be perfect in our life, its better when we try to give ourselves a chance to embrace those imperfectness.

Not everything supposed to be perfect, including our life. Sometimes the perfectness truly comes from the imperfectness.
