Dear pipsqueaks,
Last week was one of those horrendous periods in my life where i felt everything that could go wrong, went wrong, including losing my favourite headphones that my friends got for me for one of my birthdays. it wasn't anything expensive or worth stealing or whatever, but it meant alot to me. I guess that's the thing with presents, or at least how i think of them. it should be given from the heart (okay, not saying that u can't BUY something that holds some importance in ur or their heart, but i tend to prefer hand-crafting the gifts i give cos it's just worth that much more "heart points"). but back to what i was saying, it was one of those things that, when lost, could potentially upset me for days. it's always when u lose it that u realize how much "importance credit" u've apparently forgotten. of course, i'm a very organized person in the first place, so to misplace things, just wasn't my style. yet, i had to bite my tongue cos just this morning, when i put on my pink nike pants, as my hands slipped into the pockets to flatten them, i felt something stringy. *OH MY~ COULD THIS BE?! AHHH!! OMG I FOUND THEM!!!!* was exactly what i screamed out while jumping up n down in my apartment. it was such an crazy moment for me cos it reminded me of a very famous n true saying...
"what is urs will be urs" was exactly that. okay, maybe it's not that obvious what i'm trying to say so i better explain myself. it shouldn't come as a shock but sometimes, in life, u get some n u lose some. i mean, what was the positive way of thinking about this situation? well, now that i had officially lost my headphones, it's time to get news ones. maybe that was life's way of telling me, by taking them away. but of course, i can't give up without a good fight, so i flipped my apartment upside-down twice to find them, but to no avail. then, another saying popped into my head: what ur looking for will eventually show up when u least expect it. so, i just left it alone. a week later, they showed up! without me pulling out my hair trying to remember where i left them or where they could possibly be, they surrendered themselves to me! now, it's like i've officially been given a second chance to never let them leave my sight again! (altho i didn't really need a reminder of the lesson of how important they were in the first place, but u know, maybe life just likes to make sure i do).
This could also be something else entirely...n the most obvious would be a person (if not an object, what else could it be?! well okay, maybe non-tangible things, but in this case, we'll stick with something more obvious). remember the other post or where i mentioned that we all have a place in this world n our own paths to take. u may or may not cross paths, n more importantly, at the right time. see, i never turned down the thought of future possibilities of crossing paths again with any of my exes. anything is possible. with time, we all change to some extent, n maybe the next time we meet, we'll be a better "fit" for each other. but at this moment in time, we're not. so, i just leave it alone. "if it's meant to be, it will be." as simple as that. on a side note: this could also apply to things in the "now". i met a new friend yesterday n within minutes, i was in a 2hrs gossip session hearing about her love confusions n "what does he mean when he..." or "why doesn't he...". well, it's quite obvious the guy's crazy about her n her about him as well. so what if "u dunno if ur actually in a relationship cos he hasn't asked u to be his gf"? just chillax! for one, guys wouldn't bother if they don't care n seeing that he does, there's a better chance that he's for real than not. in any case, just let it be. what's the line? "if it's meant to be, it will be." conclusion: my headphones are still meant to be mine, so they came back to me! (instead of being a new addition to the "invisible world" of lost things).
Some things cannot be forced as it can only go with the flow.
