Roads that are Not Mine

Many things progress in ways that I do not expect or envision. But I have found that resolution comes not just from seeing things work out as you imagine. It is finding conclusion in new directions and outcomes that gives life its variety and enigmatic mystery. Honestly not out of any sense of entitlement or anything, I remember the sensation after not getting a place in Oxford after slaving away at apps, tests and interviews, which was repeated when I did not get a perfect score, after each point and grade I had worked endlessly at. A similar sensation hints at my person now, as one by one, my friends get their OCS postings.
