making a mountain out of a molehill
A funny incident happened to me this morning. Well, it was funny for some people *ehem*Mike*, but for me it really wasn’t. It was one of the worst things that happened to me in a while. I never imagined that something like that would happen to me, or that I would allow it to happen to me. But I got through it just fine and, as far as I can tell, no one noticed the whole thing.
This incident made me think about how maybe life was trying to teach me a lesson, because just last week, another related incident happened. Maybe that incident would have been funny too, if other people had been there to see it. To me it was simply upsetting. I find it frustrating that no matter how you try to keep things in order, it can still get really messy, and it’s not always up to you how things turn out.
I really don’t like this lesson. At all. I don’t like messy. (This may be one of the reasons I went to med school; its not easy, but its safe, and its predictable.) Nonetheless, here I am. I’m listening. I’m not afraid anymore.
***My apologies to people who might read this. Feeling ko kasi nag-underreact ako sa mga nangyari sa buhay ko today, kasi pakiramdam ko tlga isa itong major, major milestone. Kailangan ko lang ilabas ang kadramahang ito somewhere.***
