And it all ended with a midnight drive to Walmart...
There are some days where you wake up and nothing seems right. The day may go exactly as the one before, but there's just something off...
You drag yourself out of bed, grope around for matching clothes, and finally, when you are mostly conscious, get out the door to go to where ever you need to be. After you've gone through this ritual and wind up amongst your peers, if you manage to avoid any negative incidents, the day would be considered 'off to a good start'
Today was one of those days for me. By anyone's standards the day should be considered 'good' but for some reason I was in a sour mood all throughout school and work. I remember about two hours into my shift I started to think about what I was going to write here. It went something along the lines of:
"Some days are dreary. Even though the sun shines, the light refuses to dance upon your shoulders. Days when beauty is far from you, and no matter what happens, you cannot find your smile."
I thought that was going to be the whole day. Even when Devin showed up to visit me at work, I was still pretty depressed. Resignation to a sucky day had set in. But God is awesome. By some miracle my parents let me bring my friend and coworker, Lori, to Walmart for some last minute grocery shopping. Devin tagged along, and soon enough we wound up at the monster store.
The three of us had an awesome time just shopping, and talking. We saw a few people we recognized and chatted with them a little. It was about 11:45pm when we finally got to Lori's house. We stayed a few minutes and chatted then went on our merry way. Devin being the complete gentleman he is, followed me home to make sure I got there safe. What I did to deserve such an awesome guy, I will really never know.
What a night, what a night. And it all leads back to where I am now. Slowly starting to fall asleep, but with a desire to write that I haven't had in months. Awesome, awesome, awesome night.
There are some days where you wake up and nothing seems right, but thank God that days do not run according to our feelings. Every day is a gift. So take it all in! The good and the bad, the average, the mediocre, the spectacular, all of it! Because no matter what we do, life will not fail to surprise us.
It is beautiful.
It is flawed.
It is unpredictable.
It is painful.
It is joyous.
It is LIFE.
Forever,
Broken
