Unexpected Friend

Sometimes I feel like my life gives season finales every week.  Something is always happening. Always something new. Always something unexpected. At this point I just be sitting back like OK, what is the plot twist this time?

And somehow, in the middle of all of that, life still finds ways to surprise me.

I really think the best connections happen when you are not even looking for them. No planning. No expectations. They just show up and suddenly they matter.

One day someone is a complete stranger. The next day they are part of your routine. Part of your day. Part of the little things you look forward to. And it happens so fast you do not even realize the shift until you are already in it.

That is the part that gets me. Because I am not a fast paced person. I like to move slow. I like to understand what I am walking into. I like to feel things out. But sometimes life does not care about your pace. Sometimes it just starts moving and you either keep up or get left in your own head.

So you tell yourself, okay, just go with the flow. Just enjoy it for what it is.

But in the back of your mind you are like, Ummm,why does this feel so easy? And why does that make me so d*mn nervous?

Because it is scary. It is scary when something feels natural. It is scary when someone fits into your life without forcing their way in. It is scary when you start caring before you even realize you are.

But it is also really nice.

There is something special about unexpected people. Unexpected friends. Unexpected connections that remind you that not everything has to be planned or overthought or controlled.

Maybe it lasts. Maybe it does not. Maybe it turns into something more, or maybe it stays exactly what it is.

But right now, it is here. And I am learning to just be in it. To enjoy it. To stop trying to skip to the ending.

Because sometimes, in the middle of one of my weekly life season finales, I actually get a really good surprise.

Love ya, Bye!
