Sometimes things happen to you that are just unbelievable. You see the strangest things or people come up to you and speak words that are just baffling. You walk out of the house and encounter the most ridiculous of the ridiculous. Sometimes, these things are weird. Sometimes, they're funny. But we never see them coming. And most always, we never think they can happen to us. That's why TikTok is so addictive.
Yesterday, something like that happened to me. The most ridiculous thing. But it wasn't funny, and I certainly didn't see it coming. In short, I F'd up in a way that was nobody's fault but mine. In a way, that had me feeling ill and uneasy. It just had me stunned. Paralyzed. Sitting in disbelief. My actions hurt no one other than myself. And that's probably the worst kind of F-up you can encounter because when you know, you could have prevented something from happening and didn't, it can really F with your head.
This F-up didn't happen in a moment or an instant. But it was a gradually building F-up. So, by the time I realized it was happening, there was nothing I could do. And when God or the universe decides to dole out these little lessons we need to learn to make us better, it often happens at the most F'd up times and is not effin welcome! But we have to take them like a champ and keep it pushing. Trying our best not to F-up like that ever again.
