Living brings daily hurdles! From the awkward dealings that land on your doorstep in the morning, to those undulations that present themselves to you, continuously trying to knock your mood and alter your perspective from the view that Life is Good!
I'm not even talking about the major life drama's, but just the draining hassles of employment, cars, finances and NTL. That leave you wondering the point of actually having a phone due to double billing. Top priced Internet connection charges you never agreed upon, your car getting scratched, and maybe just forgetting to put the rubbish out . These all timely challenges must be resolved within what feels like 3 minute or less in the 'Fort Boyard' race to continue to exist in this modern world, without getting locked in.
Despite the telephone battles that are recorded for training purposes, complaints that never get answered and a firm belief that the world is full of legalised crime. And by this I mean, bank charges that put you further in debt, mortgages that increase due to small print, insurance Co's that never pays out. I am sure you have a list of your own. This is then coupled with the insult of the terrible in balance that occurs dare you miss a payment, or they forget to take your direct debit. Efficiently; something these large conglomerates are unable to do except in their financial pursuit, a threatening white envelope floats sanctimoniously down onto your carpet to ruin your day.
However!...........
I have recently arrived at a place, I love. Where Despite all this crap life is good!!!!
So whats changed? ? Maybe its the learning to deal with all the rubbish that's thrown at me as a game. A giant chess game of survival. Maybe its the determination of meeting problems head on and not burying your head in the sand that will only swallow you up eventually.
It has certainly been helped by the good fortune, but also hard work, of enjoying a good job, recently completed my Bsc during full-time employment and having the support of family and friends, something money can't buy.
And did I mention the removal of the life sucking 'alien style' individual who stifled the free spirit and youth full adventure inside me. They are now safely jettisoned to outer space in pod No 2, air supply on critical.
Its fair to say on that note, that living for the future and removing all past negative ties helped too.
Sometimes you have to emerge from the dark tunnel to really know just how truly black it was inside. Once outside again you realise just how very bright the future can be.
Its snowing too that helps :-)
