have you ever heard someone say you can't see the forest for all the trees? it seems like an odd statement considering a forest is made up of trees but i guess what they are saying is that sometimes you focus on the individual components and ignore the big picture. i like to think i'm a big picture girl. i'm always looking down the road and thinking of how my actions today will determine my future. i guess you could say i'm stuck on seeing the forest while ignoring the individual trees.
i can't say which is better since i'm sure there is a lovely colloquialism that says the exact opposite and therefore proving the dominance of neither saying. but i do wonder, is it bad to always see the big picture. should you spend some moments enjoying the view of each tree? what value is gained from being able to see what is right in front of you?
my friends have been trying to get me to meet new guys since my "relationship" with my last interest didn't pan out. they insist there are great men out there just waiting to meet me. in actuality, i can't argue with that statement completely. yes, there are many men available in the area and yes some of them are actually looking for someone, but it all falls apart when it comes to the meeting process. is it because i fail to see what is right in front of me? are there decent guys in my life right now who are showing interest but i have yet to realize it?
i'm inclined to say no. of course i would notice if someone was trying to get my attention, right? i might be guilty of not sharing their interest but i'm not completely clueless. or at least i'd like to think i'm not clueless. i guess that remains to be seen.
