So I am off work for a few days. It is in fact a holiday weekend and I took a couple extra days. Needed to relax and decrease my stress level. Plan was to find a couple of different places to watch the sunrise, throw away some things I don’t use, need or want and read and write a little. Oh and wash clothes 😩. I love the spot I go to but I am sure there is a better sunrise location. Probably in Michigan somewhere. I was all about it. Then this happened. Second day into my 5 days off.
I guess someone thought I had something that belong to them in my car. Obviously, I didn’t because it is my fucking car. And the things that are in it belong to me and my family. But I guess. The worst part is I am out of money to replace a window and there wasn’t really much in my car. They stole my nephew’s bookbag with his school books in it, 2 pairs of sunglasses, dirty clothes and an empty wallet. Somebody stole my dirty drawers lol. Dumb asses. Now I am going to use you as I talk about this situation from this point on. Please know that I am not referring to any of my readers. I know that this crime was not committed by anyone reading this. I am just lazy and don’t feel like making my speech generic for this whole post.
I am fighting to thrive. I am fighting to pull myself through this rough patch that I am in right now. I don’t have much. Definitely not enough for someone to take. But why would you want to take something anyway? Just as I can pull myself together every day and go punch a clock for what I need and some wants, so can most people. We all have control of the life we choose to live. Not saying that it’s always going to go our way, but each person should do their best to be who they want to be and have what they want to have. No one else should factor into the situation. If the only way that you are going to have a particular item is by taking it, it is not for you right now in your life. Not saying that it is something you will never have. Just not right now.
What God has for you is for you. What I mean by that is no amount of taking from another will get a person what God has for them. I don’t understand stealing. I don’t want anything that someone else has. It isn’t meant for me. I have a whole list of wants and needs that are specific to my life. I want a Tesla, I wouldn’t take someone else’s. I know that is an extreme example, but for real though. Hell, their Tesla may not have the amenities that I want in mine. Lol. Ok, seriously though. People assumes so much about you. That you got it going on and you can spare a little. When usually that is not true. Most people are fighting to survive and thrive in this world. They are working hard to stay on their feet and to get to the next level. How dare someone take what they have? How dare someone cause them to slide back from the place that they fought so hard to come from? Smh. As they say, “The struggle is real”. This right here is the most important. If God gave it to me I am going to get it back. Because it was meant for me. Since it was not meant for them, God is going to take it from them. It is as simple as that.
So here I am on a Tuesday still riding around with a garbage bag on my window. Actually 3 of them.
None of the businesses I contacted were open on Monday, well because it was a fucking holiday! One such business owner felt the need to check his messages and took time out of his day to give me a call on Monday. Which worked because the window had to be ordered. I have an appointment today. I am happy that I don’t have to wait another day to get it fixed. I am unhappy that what I thought was going to be some relaxing, peaceful water filled few days off turned out to add additional stress on top of what I was already trying to unload. I am okay, but I feel a little discouraged. I believe I will feel a helluva lot better when my window is fixed.
For everyone who is going through right now, I get it. Though I don’t talk about all of my struggles on this blog, I have them in abundance. This blog is meant to allow people into my life, my thoughts and various, sometimes crazy opinions. I am always hoping to connect, inspire and encourage. I don’t want a serious of posts that come off as a pity party because that is not who I am. I believe that life happens to all of us. We have the option to decide how it affects us. I want to always come out on the other side of a situation with the same upbeat attitude. I want to enjoy this life as much as possible. I want to be well and whole. And what I hope and pray for everyone is for them to be well and whole also. Love y’all 😘.
