Chapter 15 – Grapes Without the Bitter Taste

It feels at times as if everyone and everything is synchronized. You’d think that when one unfortunate event happens, there wouldn’t be the rest of the pack following behind. Sometimes, exactly that happens. As these events were unfolding, I wondered what god I cursed to get so “lucky” and to be quite frankly, after more and more started rolling in, it became funny. I don’t know what to make it to be honest. I’m not too sure if I should be worried, and should I just go on with my life as everything is going to settle back to normal. Truth is, there is no way of knowing anything at this stage but this should not stop you from living your life. So here I am contemplating on how to react to this nonsense suddenly happening to me. I do say nonsense, and I say that with reason as nothing reasonable has been happenings. I sometimes feel like I’m dealing more with people’s bullshit than anything else. I get to be the punching bag for people that had bad days, for people that has insecurities issues, for people that envy and despise all the happiness I try to uphold in my everyday life and for people that truly don’t matter in my life. I see it, I can feel it and sure as hell I can recognize it. Part of me, is sad for these people as nothing I do, is ever against them. I try to live my life being happy and sharing my happiness with my world. I don’t reproach anything against anyone, and the people I do, I sure as hell don’t go gossiping around and making stupid statements about them. I find it still odd that the average person can’t keep to themselves and their lives, but rather have a prolific need to be bothered by my happy life I lead and contemplate on me instead of their lives. It’s easy to be judgmental and god knows I’m not perfect and I do too sometimes, but I try to better me so I don’t. I try to see things in a positive light, and at every opportunity, I offer help rather than judgement. People don’t need another guy pointing his finger at them and they don’t need me to be telling them how to live their life I know nothing about but I do care, I do care to provide assistance if I can, and to be part of a better world. I like to be happy, and I will always look to be that guy that provides guidance in the most difficult times, but it’s never easy. People are very sensitive, and seems even when you are trying to offer them a hand, people don’t want to be on the spotlight for something bad. I came to my terms and I have accepted that, and I try in consequence not to interfere in anything other than my own life because otherwise I would be a hypocrite. Life is wonderful and I find it too bad that some don’t share this feeling. I have thousands of reasons to be concerned, angry and saddened by a thousand of things I have caused or not, but I keep my head high for better days. Even rain has a purpose and sometimes we just got to believe in more than what we see in order to understand the reasons we are doing things in certain ways. You got to stay strong and just like grapes, you got to focus on the sugar. Fortunately for me, I don’t believe in the notion of luck, as everything happens for a reason. You just got to make sure you follow and believe the right ones.

Until next time, with a smile, S-MAN.
