02.16.06

You know, the worst thing to happen to me that was outside of my control (well, kind of) in the past few years has always been sickness.

Granted, it didn't happen very often (well, kind of-- college transfigured that whole deal), but when it did hit, it hit with a passion.

And suddenly, I started to inhale anti-oxidants en masse as if having them now would really change much of what was already happening.

But I digress.

The thing is, things have always happened around me--

Some spot of bad luck, some tragedy, some lowly disheartening event.

They've always happened to others around me--

but never have I actually experienced them.

At least, not for a while.

Some may call it good karma.

But I don't know.

I'm bound for a dip anytime now, yeah?

For every high, there's a low--

and I've been riding pretty damn high for a while.

Granted, you might point out little things that occur daily (i.e. no taters at breakfast-- seriously, what's up with that, man?) and say those are bad.

Sure, they add up.

But they're nothing compared to what happens/happened to many cats in my life.

Some people have nothing but bad things happen to them.

And for that, I truly am sorry.

I like to think that life is all about perspective and how you handle things.

And so, if I ever do find myself in a situation of personal crisis or find myself face-to-face with life-changing tragedy, I like to think that I'd be able to put things in perspective and let it be.

Not necessarily let it go, but handle it with dignity, care and resolution.

Maybe not as a soon as possible-- it's impossible to try and force something like that down.

But I will roll with it, no matter how horrid the event, and learn from it--

grow from it.

Just like with everything that I've experienced thus far in my life.

And have I experienced.

Docking out...
