Checkmate.

What is truly amazing, is how fast you learn something and react to it. Like a child when they learn a new word, they feel they have to say it all the time. In this case, it’s much the same. Reacting to what you have learnt, and going forth with it, in any situation you are in. Im sure this makes no sense, to most if anyone at all. I found myself living the moment through reaction. We all do it. Life is simply a chain reaction. We do certain things because of others, or our surroundings. Everything you do leads to your next move. Like a chess game, and its never over until you hit check mate, and at that point you realize that last move you made was because of the one before. And so on and so. Then, you take it for what its worth, and restart the game. No different then you would in life situations. The unfortunate part is your never going to know when other player doesn’t wanna play anymore, until they say. So how many times are you going to make decisions always thinking you have more chances. One day, its going to be to late, and your last move will be… your last move. Checkmate. You loose. Sadly there is no way around it. You can’t stop it, no matter how hard you try. One move after another influenced by another, wether it was your last move, or noticing something or someone else’s. Make sense of what you can, while you can.. it won’t make much of a difference I promise you. So instead of dwelling on what can and cant be done, if you take the time to acknowledge that life is more complicated then it is made to be, you will notice the simplicity of life’s chain reaction, and how it can work on your side, not against you.

There was a night a while back when I was sitting with someone, and we were talking about all the things in life that make us who we are as people. The conversation grew heavier as the night carried on, and questions got more specific and certain. We got onto the topic of positive and negative things about who we are, or who we think we are. I gave my speech, as he gave his. I noticed some things about myself that very night. Things I never realized and probably wouldn’t have for quite sometime, or try to deny as long as possible if i ever did notice. It was a chain reaction in a simple way, that I did not realize until I had acted upon what he had said that very night. Now I sit here tonight and think about everything that has happened in the last little while, and wonder how much did I take in and react upon that I haven’t noticed. The smallest things can change your life without you ever seeing it. Well I am lucky. I got to see what this person did for me. He changed me as a person forever yes, but in a better way, because I let it happen for the better.  Its almost as if I feel like a different person because i have accepted that you change as person… everyday.  It doesn’t ever have to be checkmate, if you play your move right. Benefit from what you have learnt, and thrive off of what you haven’t.
