People say that boats are shaped as it is so that water will not get in to sink it. Basically, it’s not the water around it that sinks the boat but the water that goes inside it. Coffee spilt is not because of outside factors but because naturally, there is coffee inside the cup. Ironically, things are bound to happen because of such coffee. Logically, if it were empty nothing would spill!
Sometimes, I believe that what happened was destined or fated to happen. Well, do you? Perhaps it was all ill-fated and a natural phenomenon like the burning grasses that started the Los Angeles wildfires that turned celebrity houses into ashes. In a place, tagged as a golden globe statement of a “godless country”. I mean who would have thought of the billions of money in infrastructure that was destroyed at Hollywood hills?
How are you after all? How is your mental health? Are you a boat nearing sinking or a coffee spilling or a bush burning?
Thrive. Yes, sometimes we just have to thrive. Fall nine times and get back up ten or twenty times. That’s how mental health is especially for people diagnosed with mental illness and needs medical maintenance. There will always be relapses or times when you will get back to a mood swing of depression or mania for days coupled with physical pains called psychosomatic manifestations for not taking your medicines. These are the ones that give you tremors perhaps a side effect or whatnot. Add the aging factor, then viola – all aboard to age-old boats for senior citizens. Raise up that shaky hand for holding that coffee mug, then you’re in for a hot coffee burning your tongue in the early morning.
Acceptance is key. To accept the things we cannot change and do something about the things we can change. Whether it’s an outside or inside factor, I’m sure we can assess things if it’s acceptance or change we have to do. Unlike the past, we can change the present and the future.
Healing is a process, not even a one way road and is not even easy. But somewhere like the gazillion stars above the night skies, our light will shine even in the darkest hours.
Shine bright you all! You’re a star!
