I had my bike seat and post stolen yesterday. The first thought I had was to steal someone elses, the thought just popped in my head. But then I realized that is why people steal bike seats, because theirs was stolen. It's not like they're a particularly valuable or hot commodity... They're like $30 to replace, I'm in college and need a bike so it was kind of shitty but it's all good because I like walking. Usually when I'm pissed or stressed I remind myself to be patient. Something may appear to look "bad" initially, but later become something good or grow further over the following days, weeks, months, years. Time is a trickster who shows you only one side of a coin at "a time". You never know how something will turn out, and I mean really never know, but the end is NEVER the end. I had to go to a bullshit presentation at work once and present to 500 RAs (residence advisors) for only 5 minutes but over an hour total commute time was taken up (on a Friday night no less!). On the way however, I found $20 dollars - which was very useful because I then later used it for a lease application...which will lead to further experiences, challenges in a new apartment that will test me in different ways than this first one has, will move me in location to a new area with different neighbors, who knows I could make some new friends or enemies, open a new chapter...

the point is this is what we make out of it. Our perspective is going to create the reality for us regardless of what it is (and we can never actually say what it is, because it is the entirety of experience but experience doesn't end, our life is just a drop in an infinite sea, one unique vantage point where the universe peered into itself. Thoughts and feelings are useful lenses and mediums to interpret and analyze the ordered chaos, BUT ARE STILL NOT 100% TRUE, FALSE, OR MEANINGFUL. If you hate it then change it, change the story, write a new one and start playing new games. You may only have this life, but if you (and I'm not saying you are) were fed up with it and wanted out, then why not live like you're already dead. Live life exactly how you want, when you want, where you want, why you want, who you want. You'll have a much better experience if you are living life for the sake of it, because you know that regardless of the pyramids you may build, the wars you could start, the mittens you could sew, the fish you could catch, the kids you have, absolutely none of that will matter or be real to "you", because "you" will be gone and awareness will be all that remains.
