The Dynamic Titans of Avalanche Bay

I, personally, tend to be a person who likes having a schedule. I enjoy knowing what is going to happen instead of waiting until the last minute to make plans. Within my plans, I have room for spontaneity but I more or less like having a set agenda for my day or week or month. Within the last couple of weeks, I think I have expanded on a lesson that I have learned previously. I don't like not knowing, but some things are worth not knowing. I realize that one can not plan for the future.. not entirely, at least. This is something I have learned a long time ago, however I have not truly realized the extent of the lesson.

 I clearly always knew that some things in life just happen. Some things are impossible to plan for: a disease, an accident, a love, a friendship, ect. I knew you couldn't necessarily plan for everything, but I never realized that my lesson plays into deeper things. Nothing, as I have learned, is set in stone. You might think to yourself "Oh, I'm completely done, I'm never talking to her/him again.", but one thing that I have always taken advantage of is the ability to change. For some reason I never thought that other people could change. I know this is hypocritical and I know how to admit when I'm not listening to my own advice. People do change, as do situations. The ability to change is what alters our plans, sends us for a loop, or catches us off guard. Now, who's to say that this sudden change of plans isn't for the better? Without surprise, what kind of life would we have? Life would be boring, and dull, and in my opinion, not worth living. As much as I love structure, I need chaos to thrive. I need chaos to keep me on my toes. Chaos to keep structure. There needs to be a black to the white, a darkness to keep the light. Without the darkness, the light would not be. You need negative to show what is positive.

I usually get upset when I don't know the plan, yet when I get the plan I'm always up for alterations: A trip to the movies delightfully turns into a trip sledding, a planned dinner for three turns into dinner for twelve. Things that keep me interested, and happy. Alterations are not always necessarily a bad thing, I've learned that we need chaos as structure in our lives, and one without the other will never lead to a healthy life.
