the minor fall and the MAJOR lift
I think that it's such a cosmic event that days before my 21st birthday, I was knocked in the head by a simple lyric: the minor fall and the major lift. As I officially enter the adult world (no more excuses like I'm not an adult, I can't even hit the slots at vegas) I was reminded of one of life's important lessons. Shit happens. People screw you over and people that you didn't expect to hurt you will disappoint you. In the past, I believed that if you fall through a hole, you do your best to climb out of it. Today however, I gained a new perspective. There are cases when instead of focusing on your climb up, you have to look around the hole you fell into coz you never know when paradise is actually there.
Today (or yesterday) was an equal mix of black clouds and silver lining. I got disappointed in friends who I expected would listen and strangely, I found comfort in people I do not regularly interact with. On my way home this afternoon while I was being emo about my day, the radio played (ironically enough) something in the lines of "darling you'll never be alone". I felt the universe talking to me as I realized that there were counter-disappointments that day and although I felt alone, I really wasn't.
But that isn't to say that you shouldn't step up against what's bothering you. It's just that, some things are meant to trip you to lead you to a better path... and sometimes it's to urge you to keep persisting on your long chosen path. You just have to recognize the difference. ;)
