musings

life... what can you do about it?
sometimes it feels like everything's out to get you down....
you're walking in the pouring rain and your umbrella flips over, soaking you... you're dashing for the bus, and instead of catching it... you cop a spray of water as it takes off... you rush to a tute... and then sit there for a good 20 minutes, before realising that the tutor won't be coming (well thats probably a good thing hahaha if you dont do your tutes like me)... you go home... and cop some flak from the olds for what seems like absoutely nothing... you sit in lectures... learning nothing (besides the fact that a lack of sleep and concentration dont go together)
then again... sometimes it seems things can only go right...
you begin the year... thinking it'll be the same as last year... with nothing much changing... just the usual life of a uni student... study - skip lectures - go out - cram - eat - sleep - talk - shop... and then out of nowhere... life brings you something to cherish, to hold close to your heart... to bring a smile on your face whenever you comprehend it
and you still do the same things... (well i still skip lectures hahaha... and all of the above)...but everything is seen differently... you still get soaked in the rain... you still miss the bus by .5 of a second... yeah but you smile throughout... lol... =D
so yeah what is life?
sometimes the shittiest days can seem the brightest just because of the way you see things...
so everyday... i thank God for putting me where i am... in the family i am with, i thank Him in advance for the circumstances i'll be in, as they represent opportunities and challenges... chances to grow into maturity in Him, i thank Him for the people i'll meet lol (some i thank Him more for than others), i thank Him for the people He's put into my life... and finally, i thank Him for this great new life i've been given...
when you look at it this way... nothing seems that hard does it?
God bless you all
