unexpected encouragement
"your qualities overshadow your weaknesses"
Now, how come every time I get in a rut, I order chinese? And how come every time I order chinese they put at least 2 fortune cookies in the bag? (And what does that mean, by the way? That i'm ordering enough food for 2 people...when it's only me?) Anyway, how come a fortune cookie is always handed to me that relates almost specifically to the thoughts i've had which led me to order the chinese in the first place?
Breaking up with someone doesn't mean you're free and clear of the heartache it causes. When you're doing the breaking up it's still hard. It's not like you didn't want to be with that person in the first place... the feelings are still involved, it's just that they did something to mess that up. I'd been down on myself a little bit and thinking that I was a little weak for no reason. He was a horrible boyfriend and I didn't want to be with him for a reason, but there's always that thought in the back of my mind that I did something wrong, when clearly I know I didn't.
So, the other night, when I was feeling not so hot, I ordered my chinese, sat down with a few movies and some wine (no, I wasn't drinking alone). I opened my fortune cookie and there it was: "your qualities overshadow your weaknesses". Just the inspiration I needed to remind myself of that moment of weakness was miniscule compared to my awesome qualities. Mmhmm! :) What's funny about it, too, is that I got 3 cookies with that order... and this message happened to be in the one I opened. The other two are still in their wrappers.
Everywhere I turn there are words of wisdom helping me through this. I've been doing incredibly good, don't get me wrong, but I do have my moments of weakness.
C'est la Vie.
