Along for the Ride

     "Events playing out in someone's head: is a literary device used over and over, it's so common in everything these days. But does anybody really just sit back and watch the events play out in the first place? A completely hands-free approach. For instance, depending on how events play out, I could pay attention in math, take notes in math, or find the love of my life, but as of right now, those events are still unfolding and intertwining in a beautiful and complex way, and I'm just here for the ride. Who knows what's going to happen today? Will it affect me, of course, but what happens today truthfully isn't for me to decide.
