There are days when I think that my life is completely sitcom-worthy. With such characters as boss (now ex-boss), who decides there is no place for me at his company but promptly asks if I will help his company move to their new building(after I am no longer working with them); co-worker who pinches me in inappropriate places and spells my name wrong on my 'farewell' card; sisters who fight like enemies and fall like clutzes; and me who can't decide what cereal to have in the morning or the best route to take to get to walmart...the comedy would not fail for lack of viewers!!!
There are moments when I cannot believe the situations in which I have gotten involved...I lived with a houkah lounge owner for a week. I lived with a scary crazy lady for six months. I have been courted, dated, stalked (all in the same week- not all by the same person)...I have been happy, angry, sad, psychotic (all in the same five minutes)...I have conquered, failed, run away, faced my giants...
I have learned. Lessons that may not have come about without the presence of these seemingly crazy circumstances. I have learned to ask important questions. To stand up for myself in situations where my security is threatened, even in the slightest. To interview employers and roomates, don't let them do all the asking! To breathe in the moment. Take it all in and not worry about the next moments. And to take a break and laugh- at yourself, at your family, and that sitcom...because laughter is, afterall, what helps us get through it all!
