The longer I spend time on this
Earth the more clearly I see that my most vicious adversary apart from Satan is
time. Dragging to a halt in moments of crisis or blasting through hours of
entertainment without so much as a backwards glance, time has the power to
strip a person’s vitality or coax a newborn into the world and has no
preference either way. Regardless of any
precautions or preparation, the constant and inalterable force of time pushes
on in ways that nobody really understands but we all seem to fear. For whatever
reason it has taken me nineteen years to establish this principal as concrete
in my mind and I STILL forget it on a regular basis.
Half of my life happened today and
I am still in shell shock. The good news? I got a call last night that the
manager at Ross wanted me in for an interview… this morning I went in and I was
hired on the spot! This was so exciting that I drove out of Lakewood Town
Center with my wallet on my roof and it is gone forever. Then on my way home I
got in a wreck. I am alright and so were the couple in the other car but it was
definitely my fault and my car is definitely totaled. Again.
So here I am. New job, totaled car,
no money or license. My family is being great and helping out- they are telling
me to look at the glass as half full. Honestly at this point I couldn’t care
less if the glass is half full or half empty or whatever else because in my
mind the glass in broken- and I want a refund.
