That is Life
October 5, 2019
Hey y’all, welcome back! You know, I truly cannot begin to explain how much it means to me that you are out there reading these posts. This one is a bit of a milestone for me, we made it to post #10! Since this is a blog of indefinite length, I do not know what this milestone means in the grand scheme of things. But in the minor scheme of things, this is a big deal for me! So, thank you!
I know I said I would keep you up to date on the Lucas development. Well the thing is, nothing has happened. I do not know if Lenny told him yet. I do not know if Lucas decided not to message a complete stranger (we all learned about stranger danger back in school). I do not know if Lucas is even interested in the whole set up thing Lenny decided to just take on himself. It has been complete radio silence from both of them all week. Oh well, I knew it would be a long shot. At least the only thing I lost was the possibility of a good story to share. But, there will be more of those to come.
It may seem like all I write about are missed connections and unrequited prospect stories, but honey, that is life. And that is what I was not hearing more about. No one ever tells you all the little things that did not happen. They are not “worth” sharing because who wants to hear all the boring inaction? How many times have you told others about your non-positives? I call it a non-positive because these events are not negative events or failures. I feel that an action had to be done for it to be a negative outcome, in the same way an action had to be done for a positive outcome. These events are ones in which no action was taken and therefore no outcome. If y’all can come up with a better term, by all means, I am open to suggestions! Let me know below.
Movies and books may make it seem like you will recognize your soulmate right when they hand you your coffee or open the door for you or when they stop your urali as it is tumbling down a flight of stairs (that was how they fell in love in this really old Malayalam movie. Neither my mom nor I can remember the name of it, so if you know what I’m talking about leave a note in the comments below please!). Love does not happen in an instant. Love is a process. It is something you have to work for every day. Love will push you to your limit and make you realize things about yourself that you never knew. But love is also an indicator. If you do not enjoy the growth, if you do not learn from the trials, then perhaps you are not in love with that person.
So yea, there will be a lot of these nothing happened stories because life is kind of slow when nothing exciting is happening. But that is okay. It is good to enjoy the slow times. If this is something you are going through as well, that is fine. Just take a deep breath in, and exhale. Unfortunately, life does not happen at the pace of a two-hour movie. Take this time to learn more about yourself. Do something that makes you happy. If you are like me and cannot sit still, then do something for yourself. I got bored of all the non-positive events, so I started to write. Lucky for you, my life is happening one week at a time for you to read. So until next week, when I will have another story to share with you all.
