Of Life's Changes and Roles

So much has happened in the past month... and along with these happenings, my life has changed quite drastically. All aspects be it work, friends or love front has taken a big change.
For the better or the worse, it's yet to be seen. However, I'm very determined to let it be for the better.
My long distance relationship finally ended after taking a turn for the worse since he left. Despite efforts from both parties to work things out, it still couldn't withstand the test of time. I suppose no one's at fault here. Only bad timing. In life, we don't have much of a choice sometimes because one has got to do what one's got to do. All the best to him in his career & I certainly hope that he'll soon meet someone more deserving of him. While I move on with someone who can love me the way I want to be loved.
Work was not as rosy as I thought it would be but neither was it as bad as others said. Perhaps I was just lucky for past 4 sectors. Whatever it is, I believe so long I know my work well and do what I have to do, nothing would put me down.
The biggest change I mentioned is probably the life-changing events which two of my very close friends will be under-going very soon. I'm not sure how big a help I can be in both but I want them both to know that whatever it is, I'm always there for them and that I'll always be the most supportive of them. No matter what their choices in life are. As long as it makes them happy, I'm happy too.
We've all grown, progressed and moving on to various different stages of our lives. It's really amazing how we are all of the same age but yet we are moving on to different parts of our lives at different speed. Managing a family, bringing up a child, playing the role of a good wife, daughter-in-law, being the leader and superior in time to come... are just parts of the changes many of us have to go through. We are all uncertain and unsure of how to play those roles and at the same time worried that we can't do our part well. I say just give your best... and let the rest fall into place. No point worrying so much right... afterall, life's intricacies will be something all of us can never fathom...

Isn't it an irony... how a same situation can bring the worse out of one person and yet show the pure goodness of another?
The same thing happening to two different persons can have two totally different effects. Cause and effect. That's what life is all about isn't it?
The act of doing one thing leads to the result of something else happening. The chain effect of it all, the dire consequences one has to face for their actions are unfathomable. Neither would it be clear what the effect would it. Only when we look back retrospectively, only will we be able to see why we all are at where we are now, at this point in our lives. Very often, it's always a case of our own doing, the cause which leads to the effect.
Is anyone to blame? No one I suppose. Just that we have to learn to accept certain realities of life though it may not be the most pleasant awakening. Still, there's no other way out except to accept it bravely and make the best out of the worst situation. True, we cannot control our lives but don't forget we have a say over our emotions. If we choose to be happy and brave and take it in our stride, then I believe, nothing can bring us down.
Be strong. You know we are always going to be here for you.
