Certainly gonna have to start with my favourite and definitely one of the most beautiful quotes in the world.
"Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want."
I've had this posted some where in one of my previous posts but really, i can't emphasize this further.
This journey in life, the path you're on is different. It's different from everyone else's and every single living being on earth is going through different things at the same time.
Many times we tell one another, "hey yes, i understand what you're going through, i've been there" but i guess it's more of "i can empathise with you though i haven't exactly been in your shoes" and that, is more than enough. Every experience you're going through, every nonsense you're facing, it's bound to bring you some where in life. It all happened for you to (hopefully one day) realise that actually, what you've been through is absolutely nothing as compared to what you're going through right now.
We ALL take things or sometimes, even people for granted at one point of time or another. However, bear in mind that you ought to be content with whatever you have now because you're blessed, really blessed to have been here.
I worked at the F1 event in SG for three whole days and on the second night, i did something subconsciously, on accident and it had involved a customer, which till this day makes me feel guilty. To someone like me, it was a hell of a problem because i cannot stand not being able to be on form and in my best service. To others, it may be a small matter.
I spilled a few glasses of champagne onto a customer's bag. Okay, so i was really tired and there was a tray of two or three champagnes on my hand and there, they were fighting over who should get the drink first. I stood there as lost as anyone could ever get and as i reached for one of the glasses, shit happened. Her bag was wet and it was some expensive leather. :') The kind husband and wife though, repeatedly insisted that they're good and it was all good and there was nothing to worry about but guilt really engulfed me.
They had to take down a report and as my supervisor spoke to me, i realised i was crying my heart out. I've got no idea why i did, but all i did was bawl my eyes out my eyeballs could have dropped.
She then told me this:
The world is a very cruel place. Why condemn yourself when everything else is already condemning you? Mistakes are bound to happen and sometimes, all you can do is count yourself lucky for not getting into an unlucky situation while watching others fall.
The next day, my suite in charge told me that it was a new day and i didn't have to be afraid to face the husband and wife and i have to forget all about it. She told me that shit happens and we just have to suck it up. Let's be real here, i guess this is how life works and i can't lie?? Some people really DO turn their backs on you, but hang in there because you're all strong.
Learn from the mistakes, learn from the experience. Then learn how to better yourself and grow stronger from there. You are only this age once in your entire lifetime so don't waste it, and live life fully. Life is short. And i know for sure, i wouldn't wanna deal with monsters and useless conversations.
A few weeks ago, i had quite a few major situations to handle in my life and also deal with my unstable emotions and all that i knew was i'm strong, but i've been strong for too long. I held so many things up in myself they eventually took over and crashed me.
Penning down late night thoughts again and i can't sleep, there's school in a few hours sigh.

Rach
