Que Sera Sera

We are people who are constantly caught up in the future, of what is to come, of what is to be, that what’s not yet here. Thinking and overthinking, worrying ourselves sick. And on then our past has an iron grip over us, refusing to let us go. Or it is us who refuse to let go of it. We are so caught up in our past, constantly worrying about the future that we forget that we have a present to live.

We analyse and over analyse to the extent that that what we fear ends up coming to pass. We are so scarred by past that we develop a fear towards taking chances, towards taking risks, towards living life. We are so fearful of being hurt that we refuse to give life a chance, to give our heart a chance to beat again. Experiences may shape who we become but it’s upto us how do we want these experiences to shape us, for the better or for the worse.

We are so caught up in an image that we fear of being seen for who we are. We fear to appear vulnerable, keeping a check over our emotions, holding back the tears, after all it’s been instilled in us that boys don’t cry. We have been thought specific traits and we try to toe the line to the best of our ability, not giving ourselves the slightest chance to be ourselves, not allowing ourselves to show ourselves, living in a constant fear of opinions and judgements. 

We are so caught up in our future and our past that we overlook our present. We worry about things to come that we don’t allow it to take its natural course. We are so damaged by our past that we fear what is to come. In the end we end up living between the past and the future but never truly in the present. Both ending up holding us back.

So as Elsa said, we’ve go to let it go, don’t let them hold you back anymore. You’ve got to break free of the shackles of the past, that what’s tying us down, holding you back. What happened has happened, its time we learn and move on. There’s no use crying over spilt milk. Let yourself heal, but don’t fear those scars, don’t let it affect you. 

We’ve got to stop fretting about the future, about things that are not yet here, things that we don’t have power on. It’s time we let life take its natural course without worrying about the course it will take. We’ve got to learn to take things as it comes without worrying about what could and what should be.

So in the end, we can truly say...
Que será, será
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que será, será
What will be, will be
