Recently I have been amazed at life.
School ended. Work started. Eight days on, I was fired on grounds of “over staffing”. I am just amazed at the ebb and flow of life which can be so spontaneous and ridiculously unpredictable. When I was told that I was getting laid off, I was shocked. Obviously. No fore warning, and only eight days since I started. By the time I grasped the whole fact that I was not returning to work anymore, I was just amazed. Stunned, at the capriciousness that is the course of life. I was standing at a sharp turn. Not a crossroad. A sharp, unexpected turn. I was not angry. Surprised, yes. But I was amazed at life. I knew there was no way I could talk my way back into the job. So I conceded to life’s flow, and accepted it. I went home, and had a real good laugh about it. Life is so funny, I thought.
Thing is, I always told myself that I could be happy, at any point in my life. I always told myself that happiness was a state of mind I could achieve if I set my mind to it by blocking out the negativities.
Today, at this moment, I am happy. I am happy for everything that has happened. I am happy for everything that is happening. I am happy for the people around me. I am happy that I am who I am.
At this moment, I await for the vagaries of life to take its course. And I hope I could be happy then.
