We all have them, once in a while or often- depending on our outlook on life. These bad days are just that= a bad time for everything. Nothing seems to go right or happen the way we want it to. Everyone we talk to is just too busy for us. People we didn’t expect to hurt us, blow us off or take us for granted do just that. Tasks we normally accomplish easily become enormously difficult. Every second seems to be worse than the previous one.
However, today has been bad for me in a very deeply disturbing way. NO, nothing horrible happened to me. Just small things that shook me up did. My significant other told me how special I am, and made me feel even worse because I know I’ll never be as good a person or as wonderful as my beloved is. Then a really close friend of mine played a cruel and childish prank on me, telling me we haven’t talked for the past two weeks and that I must have been talking to someone else who was acting like him. Then another friend of mine was too busy to comfort me after my two scares. And my little sister is always tooooooooooooo busy for anything….hahahaha…she has a life. To top it all off, my wonderful love just stood me up after I waited for more than three hours. I mean OUCH- it hurts!
But the world is full of so many worse things than my petty problems. Bomb blasts, WMDs, dead and dying children, poverty-stricken families, raped women, starving countries, warzones, dead loved ones, trashed hopes and broken dreams.
However, there is still a lot of good in it. True, lasting love, humanity in some people, honesty in others, caring and frienship, tolerance and acceptance, embracing differences and standing unified in the face of terrorism.
There is so much wrong, and so much right in this world. There is so much gray in between the black and white. I am so confused. Why do these bad days happens so often? Maybe I just think of them as bad? Or I’m just unlucky? I don’t know. All I know is this- these bad days always return.
“My mama said there’d be days like this
There’d be days like this, my mama said…”
Guess mom was right- this world sucks…unless we change it to suit ourselves. And bad things happen to everyone; it’s how we handle the situation that makes us who we are.
Guess I’ve rambled on enough. Laters
