Yesterday started in a very funny way, though at first, it didn't seem like that. Things just happened in a flash that for a moment or so, I couldn't wrap my head around how I made such a mistake. It was an expensive one which almost ruined my day but... I never let the ruining part take shape.
As humans, every day is a lesson for us, and however, we intend to take that lesson really matters. And what I have come to learn and be at peace with is that, no matter what happens, I shouldn't let that ruin my day, especially if it is something I couldn't help.
Though, in my case, I certainly could have helped it if I didn't write with peakd, but that isn't an excuse. I chose to write with it, and it isn't my first time writing with it. I mostly prefer it because it makes work easier for me compared to other apps I use, which may have stored my work well.
It is a relatable story I believe we've all come in contact with or experienced firsthand. The truth is, this wasn't the first time I had experienced this. The first time was a shock, but I was still able to write something after everything.
However, this time around, I had work piled up for me, and I dedicated a few hours to each. But that didn't mean I wasn't ready to be flexible. It is not like life is a fancy princess that we can just wield around. It has its own way of making whatever plans we have turned out how it wants.
I spent an hour plus drafting a fictional story, and it was funny because I had already found pictures, got the links, and added the pictures to the story. Everything was going well until I intended to copy and have it proofread, and that exactly was how 1,300 plus words became a piece whose existence was never recorded. I pressed paste instead, and the last thing I saw was one of the picture links I copied last right where the story was.
For a moment or so, I was just there, face blank like I saw an object that hadn't fully registered in my brain. I tried writing again after that, but the thoughts weren't just there anymore. Instead of sulking around and having that piece define the rest of my day, I did something else.
I engaged in other scheduled work and got myself something nice at the end of the day.
Conclusion.
Do not let anything disrupt the happiness in you. My day yesterday could have gone in two ways, I sit and sulk around all day, get angry at myself and at the end of the day time flies continuously without giving a shit or, I go about my day regardless and that was exactly what I did.
I didn't let the thought of what happened ruin my day and didn't stop myself from having fun with other things I did and, I still gave myself a pat on the back with a nice meal after the day ended. That way, I have also trained my brain, which is awesome.
Also, that didn't stop me from saying to myself, "I won't write with Peakd again" lol. I had no reason to do that, and right now, my thoughts are being penned down using Peakd. All I have to do is to be more careful next time so I won't be in the same situation but if life happens, I'll still go about my day like I should have. That doesn't mean I don't recognise or try to deny the emotion that something happened.
I recognise that something happened, but I know that I shouldn't let it ruin my mood. Instead of worrying, I decide to face reality because reality goes on, and I don't need to worry but be happy.
Therefore, in line with #threetunestuesday by @ablaze, I'll be sharing some music to end this piece. Have an amazing Tuesday!
