There a lot of things that can go wrong in life, a lot of things that can happen without warning and a lot of things can happen without your knowledge.
A car accident, a close one's death, job layover, failing an assignment, but then there are some things that also just seem to happen as easily, call from a long lost lover, a gift from an unexpected one, a surprise treat for your birthday, a forgotten track on your iPod, rain right when you want it, a pet cuddling up to you, a small squirrel in eating from your hand, a rainbow under dark clouds and a little cheering up when you have not told anyone that you're sad.
There are some things we plan out and they go as expected, there are other things, that... just .... happen.
And when do you realize the value of all this? Not when it happened, but when you are sitting alone in your room, waiting for the expected to happen. These small little nitpicks come and corrode your sadness away.
How well do you know what you have planned is going to really happen ? Hell, it doesn't even happen in movies anymore. There are some people who like to stay hidden away from the world, even they have something unexpected happening to them;
You can't hide from what is going to come in your life, but yes, you can take it in a stride and not crib instead. I have been cribbing, i have been cribbing about not being good enough in what i do, not having the love life i always wanted but when i see the smaller things in life, sitting alone in my room, expecting a call from the people in the big buildings to follow up on the numerous resumes i sent out, i can't help but smile.
It's not even a big deal that i am single again, still eating ice cream right out of the tub when my dog comes and puts his head on my lap as if trying to tell me that everything is going to be alright my friend.
I had a fall out with my boyfriend because well, i was too busy working ( another article about how men don't understand women coming up ) and then i had a fall out with another guy i liked ( he found someone nearer to home ), I wrote a few foul articles that went online recently (not proud of them at all) and then the plumbing in my house went for a toss!
As i sat staring out my window for a ray of hope, my dog comes upto me, shuffling clumsily ( he is a big guy, not so young either) sits next to me like the great master Oogway and looks out the window. I kid you not, this really happened. After a minute or two he turned away, obviously disgusted at the thought of sitting idle and not doing anything at all. He goes back, gets his ball to me, i don't respond, so he comes to know something is wrong.
And yet again, i repeat myself, I. Kid. You. Not. He put his head on my lap, staring at me, smacked his lips and sat with me for hours.
I've seen this happening in movies and i never thought untrained dogs had that kind of heart to give company to people with dismal hopes.
The only thing missing from that day was a beautiful background score by Stolzman and it could have easily been a stolen scene from a movie.
I should ask you instead, should i have been sad that my love life wasn't going well, my career was down the drain or should i have been happy that my dog was Deepak Chopra reincarnate.
I don't really have anything to look forward to right now in my life, except for a call from a company (since i might be kicked out from the one i am in right now) and i am still feeling happy about being here, in my small little apartment.
Because i have the little things ...
