Life games

When I wrote the previous entry, it was pouring right outside my window. Half way thru typing, I looked up and saw a clear grey sky. It was a nice surprise.

It's charming how our world works sometimes. Just the other week, I intended to pen an entry about how plump I was growing because I couldn't fit comfortably into my working suits. I'd eaten less and walked more distances, but my size refused to be reined in. Then one day, I just fitted (snugly) into some smaller-sized clothes again.

I wish the world works like this all the time, with nice, positive surprises along the way and/or at the end of dreary tunnels. Or maybe the world does work this way, only, we have to learn to be a little more patient. You know, ride out the waves as they come etc. After all storms come and go but we, the (good) people, are here to stay.

Like how the folks in this new city can be dreadful, the politics deadly. I wasn't playing their game but apparently that didn't matter. I was stabbed and I bled and almost died. Now I'm learning to play their game. Learning to ride the waves. But this is going to be a long-drawn game. I hope the world gives me some nice ups along the way.
