"Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere and sometimes in the middle of nowhere you find yourself." This is a wonderfully confusing, and yet meaningful statement isn't it?. At first reading you might feel like it’s self contradictory, but let me tell you that its not! Sometimes in life you find yourself in the middle of nowhere, even when you have your life all “sorted out”, so very intricately planned, feeding all of your paranoia, while avoiding every scenario of doubt and probability, you can still land in a pitfall of the unknown. Even with all of your master-plans, you can very well get into situations where you end up asking yourself -
And then you ask yourself. “Where actually am I? what did I want to go after, to being with?” It could be because, you were busy chasing someone else’s dream for long, or because you were convinced into believing that you were meant to do certain things, in a certain way, or because you started off loving whatever it was, your job/career/relationships, made heavy plans for it, but somewhere along the way, things fell apart due to internal or external circumstances, and you begin to question everything. Suddenly your favourite cookie starts to crumble to the ground!
But remember that the moments like these tend to impose immensely self-destructive behaviour. And also the moments like these can also tend to show you, your true self. Who you really are and what is your real calibre is. This might become your 'Kodak' moment of life when you stand up to the challenges and say "what the hell ! I can handle it my way!"
Tougher times like these have their own beautiful way of showing you, the truth, your real intentions, your value, your worth. Simply because you have nothing more to lose, nowhere to go, no big plans or long schedules. This is the time for you to ask yourself when you tilt yourself and see that small passage between the divider and cars which leads you to zebra cross and when you reach there and traffic light to green!!!
Similarly in life every thing you wish for and working hard to get it, needs time. But normally we tend to run out of patience, but make a right move at right time. My rough interpretation would be that sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere means you are just lost and have no clue where you are and sometimes in the middle of nowhere that is, when you least expect it suddenly you find yourself when you attain self-realisation.
