Life's a bitch.
I've never been the smartest, richest, or prettiest girl around and i always complain about not being perfect enough. I always thought that there must be something i can do right, or something that is good in my life for me. How could i always be getting the shorter end of the stick all the time?
I searched high and low for my answer and i realised that the best thing that happened to me was my relationship.
God was fair in that way, to give me just the perfect relationship, and indeed, i was happy. It was the best thing in my life, for 7 years. I thought, that it doesn't matter now, i do not need to be the smartest, the richest or the prettiest girl around, i have love. Pure, real, sweet and whole-hearted love. It was easy being together, comfortable, warm and real. I didn't even have to be someone i wasn't.
Then, along the way, other people were dangled in front of me, within my reach, for me to walk away from what i have, to seek for greener pastures, but i always end up realising that, i like the way my pasture is, just the right shade of green. I do not need another shade. I have reached contentment and that is the key to happiness.
I realised that the simple things in life, are often taken for granted. Just to have someone to share your life with, to laugh with, to cry with, to whine to, to vent to....someone who knew you better than you knew yourself. It is almost impossible to find another someone who would do that with you, for the rest of your life. Thus i was always happy to have that in my life even if it is for awhile. I treasured it and for 7 years, it was everything to me.
To have that taken away from me, i realised, was the hardest thing in the world to accept. Imagine someone snatching your last penny from you. The one lucky penny that you treasured with all your heart.
Now, there is nothing. I am still not the richest, smartest or prettiest girl and now, even the most precious thing i have, has been taken away from me.
Tomorrow will be another day. How to get through that, i will try to figure out... but i will have to pick myself up from the floor and stop looking for that lost penny. When i stop looking, probably and hopefully, another penny will roll my way. It may be the same one, or not, but i think for now, i will be contented with any penny.
Contentment is still the key to happiness, so always treasure what you have before you lose it, once and for all.
