A dose of opium for Sunday

I'm still sick so I am confined at home attending to myself. I have to study big time and I have to eat, take my tablets and so on. I bet I'll be a-ok tomorrow. Managed to get rid of my Sunday and Monday shifts despite my want for additional moolah. Some things do change.

I feel the need to scream just because of the little annoyances of life. I've tried to live with the fact that there are these minor unpleasantries that I have to sit through and endure until who knows when. Sometimes I wonder if they are all that minor because every now and then, I swear that they tend to drive me to the verge of insanity. Does it really help to voice out and complain when other people are involved or is it always better to just flex and change one's own perspective?

Life is beautiful. Mom said that to me the other day. That I already know but I never expected mom to tell me that. She added that one should just know how to live life. These are choices. Nobody should be confined to eternal damnation against one's will. But then again, I guess there's a big difference between living life and all it's wonders within one's comfort zone and going out of the boundaries being a tad adventurous. It's all about choices.

Jonathan's message yesterday was a bit of a re-run from last week. I have no idea as to how the church programs the messages and the speakers but last week I went on a Sunday morning and yesterday on a Saturday night. It was not exactly a re-run but it was pretty much 90% the same thing. It was about living on the edge and all that stuff. It was very empowering in the sense that it inspires you to move away from the norm and whatever is comfortable.

It made a lot of sense and I felt the message being aimed at me. Other than the fact that there was emphasis, being a semi re-run, I wouldn't have gone to church (because Iw as sick) if not for my pre-arranged meeting with Syd, the TV guy.

It's amazing how things would sometimes just fall into the right places.
