The Wrong Road, The Right View

  “The wrong Zoom link is sometimes the right life link.”

Abstract

“You ever notice how life feels like clicking the wrong Zoom link, but suddenly you’re in the right meeting? Yeah, that’s how doors in life work—awkward, random, and sometimes surprisingly perfect. ”

We all chase the “right” doors in life—dream jobs, perfect homes, flawless plans—as if they’ll guarantee happiness. But here’s the funny truth: life rarely sends a Google Maps link. Instead, it deposits us in unfamiliar rooms we never booked. Some look dull, some feel overwhelming, and some turn out to be the most unexpectedly perfect detours.

💡 “The wrong road often takes you to the right view.”

That “failure” you thought ended your progress? Perhaps it simply redirected you toward a better perspective. That random opportunity you almost ignored? It could be your golden ticket. Life’s GPS is glitchy, but it still knows where to drop you—just not always where you planned.

The Hidden Reality

💡 “The door you expected isn’t always the door you need.”

Not all victories are picture-perfect. Some are deeply personal—like making it through a day that gave you 100 reasons to quit, but you still smiled anyway. Or handling chaos without letting it handle you.

So don’t measure yourself by the doors that stayed shut. Instead, notice the quiet ones that opened—opportunities you didn’t plan, friendships you didn’t expect, moments of peace you didn’t think you’d find. Those doors are easy to miss because they don’t come with confetti… but they matter the most.

Financial Stress: The Uninvited Roommate

At the end of the day, let’s be real—most of us are working for financial support, not just passion projects. Passion is lovely, but bills don’t clap when you follow your dreams. And financial stress? Oh, it has perfect timing—it knocks right when you’re already juggling ten other things.

But here’s the twist: instead of letting money worries shut every door, try walking through life with a little humor. Budget smart, save where you can, but don’t let fear be the landlord of your happiness. Sometimes, enjoying the wrong road (with its messy detours) helps you see that financial stress is just another puzzle piece—not the whole picture.

A Gentle Suggestion (From One Life Traveller to Another)

Laugh at the detours—they’re proof you’re still moving.

Trust the awkward doors—they’re not mistakes, just unexpected lessons.

Balance passion and paycheck—but remember, stress doesn’t own you unless you hand it the keys.

Today’s Trendy Truth 💬

In an age of hustle culture and success stories, everyone feels “behind” at some point. But not all wins come with hashtags or applause. Some are quieter—like being kind when it’s hard, or finding calm when everything’s noisy.

The best doors in life don’t have handles—they just swing open when you laugh.

🌟 Final Thought

✨ Life isn’t really about choosing the perfect playlist—it’s about how you flow with the song that’s playing. You may not always get the track you requested, but you can still sing off-key, tap your feet, and enjoy the beat that showed up. And honestly, that’s the music worth dancing to.

"Meet My Therapist: She’s 20 Feet Tall and Photosynthesizes"

“Life lessons from a tree… after chasing it for 

41 years.” 

Abstract

For 41 years, I chased life like it owed me answers — careers, relationships, health goals, even a cleaner desk. Then, one afternoon, a tree quietly ruined my hustle. It had everything I’d been sprinting toward: growth without rushing, balance without calendars, and peace without Wi-Fi. This is the hilariously honest story of how a leafy bystander taught me that you don’t find life’s meaning by chasing it… you grow into it.

Let's Dive In

Let me confess something: for most of my life, I’ve been running as most of us does.

Every human today is tired.

Some are tired of work.

Some are tired of financial problems.

Some are tired of relationships.

Some are tired without even knowing why.

I was the same. For years, I kept asking:

Why is life like this? Why can’t things just be smooth?

So, I’ve been running.

Not actual marathons — but running after something.

Things. Success. Approval and Not one, the list goes on.... The perfect future. And once… an ice cream cart that disappeared before I could catch it. And occasionally… my phone, because I forgot where I kept it.

At 41, I thought I had some wisdom.

Instead, I had dark circles, back pain, and a bank of stories beginning with “Once, I was in a hurry…”

I was convinced that if I moved faster, thought harder, and planned better, life would finally say, “Congratulations, you win!”

but,  it  never said that.

Then came The Tree Moment.

It was just an ordinary afternoon.

I was sitting under a tree, sulking about some delayed life plans, when I noticed:

The more I thought about it, the more I realized trees have it figured out:

• Storms? They don’t run. They stand still and hold on.
• Pests? They endure — and still bloom later.
• Loss? They shed and move on.

Humans? We get a small problem and suddenly start writing emotional Facebook posts.

It wasn’t on Social media, comparing its branches to other trees.

It wasn’t scrolling for “5 hacks to grow leaves faster.”

It wasn’t even moving!

Atleast, doesn't expect an applause or a reward. 

And yet… it was growing. Strong. Calm. Trusting the seasons.

Intellectual recognition by the Tree: 

"Neither an applause nor a reward makes us live. Just breathe to live." 

“Life is not in a hurry… you are.”

I thought of my own “seasons”:

Career Season:

I once dreamed of becoming The Medical Professional — you know, the kind of person with innovative treatment plans, a polished surgical equipment, and maybe even a clinic that stays alive in patients mind.

Now? I’m surprisingly happy doing what I do, even if my “big accomplishment” for the day is cleaning my desk stacked with books, papers, and that mystery pen that disappears and reappears like a magic trick.

Relationship Season:

Never imagined it would turn out the way it did.

But somehow, things are moving on their own — without my control, without my deep strategic thinking — yet in perfect coordination, like a dance where I don’t know the steps but still don’t step on anyone’s toes.

Not disgusted. Not disappointed. Actually… well.

Health Season:

Planned to be fit enough to do all my work with energy.

But some days, even breaking a block of instant noodles feels like weightlifting, and churning a bar of soap in my hands feels like an upper-body workout.

Turns out, my body also runs on seasons — and sometimes it chooses “low battery mode” without warning.

Meanwhile, me?

"I’ve been running around like a phone on 1% battery looking for a charger."

If I work hard and see no results, I start rearranging my entire plan like a confused interior designer.

If life gives me a delay, I check the calendar twice — just in case the universe forgot the deadline.

"If my plants take forever to bloom, I sit next to them like we’re both waiting for rain in a desert.”

The Tree’s Whisper: 

The message was simple:

“Do the work in front of you.

Prepare for what’s far away.

Trust the seasons.”

Now, I’m still human. I still have bills and dreams and random 2 a.m. worries.

But I’ve started growing like a tree:

🌿 Standing strong.

🍂 Letting go of nonsense.

🌸 Blooming when it’s time.

Because I finally realized:

🌟 “The meaning of your life won’t arrive faster if you chase it. But it will arrive if you live it.”

Final Takeaway

"Turns out, life’s meaning doesn’t need chasing — it’s already sitting beside you, quietly waiting for you to stop running long enough to notice."
