following the flow

'following the flow'

familiar? how would you understand this term in a general life context?

some might say, following the flow is to live a life just the way it is, to accept what's coming and let them go when they're out of reach. simply let the flow leads your life without doing anything.

or, do your very best to shape how do you want your life turns out to be. but whatever happens you'll going to accept it because life goes on anyway. you grasp a good grip of how life flows - you remove every circumstances that's coming your way to have a smooth journey, but you could not avoid certain things that might cause your flow to be obstructed, somehow. but you keep going anyway.

or, it might refers to the flow of the society you live in. you just decided to just follow what the society told you to be? 

- uh huh, this kind of people exists. 

aaand which one clicks the best to you?

i live with the second one. i did my best - fit to my own capability (i thought so), but whatever happens, i will still following the flow - to actually keep on going. 

this may applies in so many life situations but one thing (in my opinion) would not fit the situation well is - finding a lifetime partner. of course, you may come out with efforts, tons of them to actually keep the relationship alive, but when it comes to dealing with a human being - it would not be that easy. it requires commitment from both sides, then only you can have a healthy-long term relationship. you can't just follow the flow and expect for something to come in an easiest way. 

i may be typing this due to emotional struggles that i'm currently in at the moment, but i always believe that the interpersonal relationship matter will never be easy to be described with 'following-the-flow' concept.

like a literal rant right here. please excuse me. 

adios.
