A trail of thoughts
I put down my book feeling a sense of satisfaction and exhilaration. A bittersweet but nevertheless happy ending. The plot twist only served to give the book the bonus points it deserves. I highly recommend this book – My Sister’s Keeper (Jodi Picoult). Five thumbs up!
I do realise, I like plot twists because its of the surprise factor. I like the fact that I didn’t see what is coming. The same goes for both books and movies and shows.
The irony of it all I suppose is that though I simply adore interesting plots and stories… in real life, I seem to be choosing the safe routes, predictable outcomes. Perhaps the stakes involved are too high. Perhaps I am too chicken to take risks.
Being conservative has its pros and cons I suppose.
Yet, behind the safety bars, one can’t help but wonder
What am I missing out on?
Taking to the benches in my own life means I loose control of steering it. I loose control over where and how I want to live my life out to be. Do I rather choose the safe directions and achieve predictable outcomes then dictate where I want my challenges to bring me?
