There are many times in our lives where everything goes according to our plans. There are many other times in our lives where our plans turn into break downs, wrecks, and malfunctions. We go through our lives making plans and when all seems well something happens. This evening I was with a group of friends visiting my incredible girlfriend and as we were leaving we accidentally got the vehicle stuck in a ditch right outside her house. Fortunately we were able to call someone to tow us out quickly but, this was something that did not go according to plan.
This event brought to mind a time not too long ago when Brianna and I were leaving a nice Mexican dinner date and her vehicle spontaneously broke down. Or another time when we were driving her father's car back from Pennsylvania and the ignition died. This has led to an on going joke that I am bad luck for other people's vehicles. All of these events were unplanned but so accurately symbolize how life goes.
No matter what our plans are they cannot prevent wrecks, malfunctions, and break downs. Plans get changed, things come up, and where we thought our life would be three years ago may be drastically different now. We live in a world where "break downs" happen all around us and cause us to analyze how we are living our lives. Break downs do not have to be bad things but, they can be adventures that create stories to tell to others one day.
So here's to the malfunctions that make life more interesting and help us create inciting events and exciting stories.
