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 :)
