There are particular instances in life when it JUST WON’T allow you to have a freakin’ decent day.
I mean, normally, you can just have everything flow smoothly for you without any of those annoyances – you know, just to get through the day as NORMAL as you could. But no. LIFE is an occasional bully, and you’re just a dork minding your own business, and then suddenly it throws crap right to your face the moment you start your day. During these times I just find myself sitting down on the sidewalk whining silently. What did I do? Is it because I missed last Sunday’s mass? Is that it? Tell meeeeeeee!
Funny, these “bad starts” eventually become somewhat of a pattern as you go along. Like, I could now sense early in the day if it’s gonna be a shitty one, in which case, I then just try to content myself with the confines of home. But sometimes my senses do betray me. It’s tricky at first, coz it might look like a sure forecast of THE WORST DAY EVER, but then it could turn out to be rather normal. Basically it’s a day of gloom ahead for me when:
- I wake up and see that my phone is still low on batteries even after a whole night’s charge (which of course means I must’ve failed to charge it properly).
- I wake up and realize that I just slept on top of an expensive book I borrowed which now has an irremediable and permanent crease on its glossy cover.
- I wake up hearing my mother’s angry voice (a gloomy day for her as well) just when I needed to borrow money from her coz I’m broke. (Being broke is already a bad day by default, but it can be saved through a successful borrowing)
- I wake up and turn on my laptop only to wait for a gazillion years before it can finish its startup items, updates and crashes (which almost never happens in a normal day). By the time it’s ready, I’ve already forgotten why I turned it on in the first place. Shutting down Windows…
- I wake up, grab my towel and, just as I pass by my closet, I see that I’ve ran out of good clothes. (Of course I have an important event to attend; otherwise it would only be just a semi-crappy day)
- I wake up reading the most SIGNIFICANT text I have ever received from the most SIGNIFICANT person in my life, and be suddenly crushed to know that I wasn’t able to reply last night coz I slept (or was too drunk).
When these things start off my day, it’s all downhill from that point.
