Sometimes we get way too focused on what we want to receive that we lose sight of what we’re already getting. Sometimes we expect way too much that we forget that there’s a limit to everything, that there are boundaries, that there are floors and ceilings and walls.

Sometimes we react way too early, way too harshly despite how passive and gentle our planned attack is. Sometimes we push people away even if we wanted them as near to us as possible. Sometimes we just simply drive them away or make them hide all the more behind the shells that they think protect them.

Sometimes we just have to take some things in stride. When people do (or don’t do) something you don’t (do) expect, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re out to get you or hurt your feelings or whatever. There are and there will always be a plethora of reasons behind such actions because, hey, you know what they say, there’s always an effin’ reason for everything.

Sometimes we get way too focused on what we want to receive that we lose sight of what we already have. And sometimes we can get too distracted by that that we don’t realize that there’s always the possibility that we’re gonna lose whatever awesome thing is being given to us. And sometimes all we need is just a little change in perspective, sometimes all we need is just a little bit of understanding, just so we won’t lose whatever that thing is.

Or maybe if it’s too mendokusai*, we can just think that, well, sometimes shit just happens. Let’s all get this over and done with. Shit will still happen, but life will go on. Oh yes, indeed, life will go on.
