The Last Door

There is a saying that states, "When one door closes, another will open."
I think I am on my last door.

That is the thing, the saying implies an infinent number of doors but in reality, the doors run out eventually. For one person they may have hundreds of doors, the next may have only a few. So how long can one keep hoping for that "other door"?

I realize now that I was constantly relying on that door only to discover, I was on my last one. I had walked away from the others only to land at this one which is refusing to open. Really, I think you have to envision it as a room. You have the door to open your opportunities and then theres the room where you strive and at the end, there sits the last door leading to success...as long as it's open. If it is shut, it doesn't mean that it can't be pulled open with a tug, but other doors are permanently cemented in place. That is when you turn around and start looking for another door to open. However, you can't look forever because once you walk away from it, it's lost forever.

I am on my last door and pulling with all my strength. I can hear it creaking like it wants to open but is simply too difficult. There is a small keyhole in which I see that the door is locked. I can attempt to pull it open but I know it won't move. So, I have to sit on the other side and wait for another person to open it from the outside. My success or failure rests on that one person opening up for me.

~Sorry if this is confusing for many. I have a lot on my mind and tend to write figuratively so I can try and organize my thoughts.
