There was a man on the tram today playing with a Rubik's Cube. The thing is, he was a scary looking guy. Dressed in black from head to tail, with a trench coat and gelled hair, he reminded me of a mob boss. A mob boss with a Rubik's Cube. It made me smile, and I realised that you get so stuck inside your own head sometimes, so busy with your own crazy little life, that you forget that there are so many other sides to people. That face value doesn't mean anything. That everyone has something that makes them happy, even scary, mob-boss-looking men. And it made me realise that I will be happy. That my future doesn't depend on me finding the right guy, or finishing my course, or getting a good-paying job or a nice house or a dog or whatever it might be. Everything is so much bigger than that. I could just keep doing what I'm doing, and that would be fine. Or I could go do something completely out of the blue, and that would be okay to. Because life isn't pre-written, and I don't have to do what everyone else is doing, because if I actually look close enough, everyone is doing vastly different things. Yes, right now we're all in university, and in a few years time we might be looking for jobs and apartments or even to be starting families. But we don't have to be either, and that's the important bit. Because even though my friend might be studying science, she also rides horses, and she also draws cartoons during lectures, and she's also training to be a DJ in her spare time. There's so much more to people then you let yourself think, and that's how I know I'll be happy. Because life is larger than I sometimes think it is, and there'll always be something to make me smile, even if I'm feeling a bit behind in the grand scheme of it all.
