The unexpected

She had a plan.
She had it all sorted out.
There was a bucket list and a timeline.
Everything was going according to plan.
The next stage of her career, and she was gearing up.
Then the lightning struck. The storm hit.
He was here.
Everything she promised herself, all the things she wanted to do, they didn't seem to matter anymore.
All that mattered was him.
She didn't know what she was doing, but took a leap of faith. And he was there to catch her.
He changed her life, there was no plan anymore. There was an adventure and a whole lot of travelling. Vagabonds, watching the sunset every day, in a new landscape.
What happened to the girl with the bucket list?
No more expectations, no more goals.
He made her see the beauty in the unexpected.
This was life.
This was reality.
She was drowning on her own, but she didn't want to anymore.
This was a life she never thought she would see.
The chance to live without pondering over the impending, and unavoidable oblivion.
No more plans she said. There's no more time to waste.
She was going to live.
