When I talk to you and ask possibilities, do not give me a straight no. Think solutions and opportunities to achieve the end. Do not get stuck on procedures because they were created FOR you and therefore do NOT preside over your life.
Also, can you please be open to multi tasking as well because in this century, you have to be able to process one or two things at a time.
Moving to this condominium was a draining experience. I prayed for a smooth transition, which in my definition, was to sign up for a place we liked and then move in our stuff, but I got the exact opposite of smooth.
On the day of formalizing the lease for this place, we were in danger of being without our bed, pillows, blanket, and most importantly, our apartment! Long story short, everything was painstakingly ironed out, but it points to the fact that in the end, ‘everything is rent’. Nothing is etched in stone. A two-year lease can be rescinded for unexpected and hidden reasons, even to the landlord himself. Recently, someone dear to me passed away suddenly. She was an elderly woman, my mentor, with no outward or known health risks, especially with her positive and vibrant personality yet out of the blue, she had a massive stroke and died two days later.
My advise to anyone struggling based on this experience is when in danger of losing something beyond your control: let go. Everything falls into place eventually and these obscured reasons turn out to be a ‘stroke of luck or blessing’, in the end. We can’t orchestrate our lives according to our desires – especially if what we want is a newly furnished apartment like this one. When that ominous day comes, I’ll be humming this happy tune from Avenue Q.
For Now
Don’t stress,
Relax,
Let life roll off your backs
Except for death and paying taxes,
Everything in life is only for now!
