I'm sure we’ve all had those imaginary shower conversions/arguments. I have at least. I always win too. I always wished other people would “stick to the script” when we were talking/arguing, dumb i know, but alas it is what it is.
How does one control their emotions? Or their surroundings? Or other people? Those were some of the questions I asked myself, till I realized that was manipulation, yikes! Through the past few years I've come to realize that things happen as they are supposed to. Whether or not you get yourself all worked up and have a tantrum.
Of Course that's not to say I give up after a minor inconvenience, just that I'm not as attached to the outcome as I once was. Life is beautifully complex and to live is to try and take it all in. Now, when I get mad or frustrated because things aren't going my way, I try to take a breath and go with the flow.
All this to say, I'm taking the time out of my life to make myself lemonade. Instead of asking ‘why’ I find myself asking ‘and then’. Like watching an artist at work ready for the next note or brush stroke. Or like water moving through a stream calmly redirecting and readjusting my course.
