Bolt from the blue
Drifting in happiness, I am currently.
Life comes with ups and downs, and it really hurts recently on everything happened. The house is in pure gloomy state now and everyone in the house, one by one, has fallen into a mental sickness. No less help by my accident which causes so many unwanted havocs, on and off the house. Although having a car accident is considered as either “sooner or later”, it couldn’t come at the worse timing. The entire house is a bit messy now and it only makes sense not to interfere more. The only thing that is making any sense to me now is to stay at home quietly and complete my assignment a.s.a.p.
That is the big part of sadness that supposedly glooming around my side of the story. Jane Rubietta, author, speaker and co-writer of Fabulous after 50, wrote in her book that “Anger is natural. Grief is appropriate. Healing is mandatory. Restoration is possible.” I firmly believe that the anger and grief I currently suffer now is natural and appropriate. Thanks Jane.
Healing is mandatory. I won’t want to be in anger and grief 24/7, but I can’t seem to find a way to heal myself and “them”. Recently I have been in a state of shock and emotionless due to the accident and “those” issues.
But then, finally, healing process starts today. It is godsend to me. I would never know such small incident will touch me as much as the accident scares me.
Allow me to tell you how.
The recipe is simple:
A cupcake with 3 alphabet “i-a-n” in the table of Hostel D1 room 301, with the most important ingredient of the recipe is the friends that surround the cake... The cupcakes are nicely lit and they were all brightly lit in a dark room, with beloved friends started to sing the four words you get to hear only once in a year. “Happy Birthday to You”. The day belonged to you, and the candles symbolize your coming of age. Although it is still 3 days earlier, but the healing part begins. The entire feeling is so symbolic it touches my heart like never before. Who would even dream of having surprise cupcakes just for you, in time where the house is nothing but dimness?
The cupcakes and the friends are my best presents (the Vincent action figure is an icing on a perfect cake). In the darkest hour, they unwittingly lit up my week, symbolically.
It is simple to heal yourself. Be yourself and let your surrounding light you up. Surprises pop-up and that what makes life more fun and in the same time miserable, right? :)
Restoration is the last process, and yes, people. It is possible. I’ll try my best with God’s help.
Utmost thanks, love and appreciation goes to beloved friends that have A&W with me just now. Will update all your faces later:
1. Jaclyn the head of WTO and the queen of all of us. A super lovely and loving girl, I must say.
2. Ashley the pinku-ness of all pinkus
3. Jill the innocent princess that everyone loves
4. WK the lucky dude that get the innocent princess
5. Sam the baby-face assassin in our beloved game
6. Bryan the ever funny looking dude that is well respected, no less easy to manipulate
7. Ingrid the girl that really makes me smile and have a deep-laugh inside my heart
8. Yvonne, for constantly listening to my craps!
It gives me a moment to ponder what this quotes really mean:
“The best things in life aren't things” – Art Buchwald
“A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world” - Leo Buscaglia
“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind” – Dr Suess
