I used to plan
Anything and everything,
Till I realized
Plans don’t always work.
Life works.
Now I am behind on
So many life goals
That the younger me
Had meticulously planned.
Life happened.
Yet, even today,
I wish, hope and believe.
I even prepare myself.
Call it planning, if you will.
Life for me is optimistic.

It is a short but very profound poem that celebrates flexibility, faith and the human capacity to reinvent oneself. It encourages us to let go of rigid control and to keep walking with hope, even if the road changes.
Kind regards.
