Life can be like a book or for those of the Netflix generation it can be like a TV series. Its full of different chapters or episodes following on from one to another.
Each chapter ends with either a mystery, a calamity or some cataclysmic change, maybe sometimes a happy halcyon state whichever the case it drives us to go straight into the next chapter, to see where we go from there.
We can accept our life like this, when something defining happens, you loose your job, you become ill, you break up a relationship, you start a new relationship then mark that as the end of that chapter and open a new chapter and go on from there.
