The Broken Piggy Bank

The title of this post may come across to be very random but trust me, to me, this is actually something significant (at least I think it is). It is one incident that may never be forgetten by me even though it was something trivial to many people.


So, when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade, I still kept some piggy banks. The contents were mostly coins, obviously. And that is actually the root cause of this whole accident. At that point in time, my little brother was only around 2 year old. Being the curious and somehow mischievous toddler, he came to like playing with a lot of coins. The initial problem was that he played with the coins from our family little shop and that means that there are some lost money. But for me, the real problem was this one fine day when his nanny decided on something to solve the initial problem. That day, I happily came home from school and noticed that my brother had exceptionally a lot of coins with him to play. I was still okay until I noticed that one of my piggy banks was missing...

Why did I suddenly remember about this incident? I just found out that my secret treasure was discovered by another person who stole the whole thing. So, my secret treasure wasn’t really a secret after all -.- Now, the real mistery is the identity of the ‘thief’…

Okay, I haven’t really reached my point. The issue is that I had something planned, something that I want to keep safe. The ideal is that they are secure with no interruption. In the case of my piggy bank, I should be the one opening when I want to count the amount of my savings after years, or when I need the money. Having said that, real life is never ideal. I, or in fact you too, have to expect the unexpected.

Not only to material wealth, but this also applies to our feelings. Normal people would not want their feelings hurt by others. You and me appreciate peace in our hearts a lot. Even so, as I have said earlier, we have to expect the unexpected. People come and go in our lives, leaving their own marks in our hearts just like those carvings on the trees. It is almost impossible to leave our hearts unscarred at the end of the day. But this is life where there is no ideal that is really ideal.  If we have not scarred our hearts, be it with beautiful carvings or unintended clumsy cuts, I dare say that we have not lived fully. After all, life is about loving and being loved. Let those non-ideal conditions happen in your lives and the memories of your past will be extra fascinating :)


To end off this post, I would like to post this song from the Script with the title “Man on a Wire”. I feel that it fits this post pretty well because, for me, it portrays the uncertainty in (love) life. So yup, I hope you enjoyed this quick update :)
