A Reminder that when the going gets tough - Its not that bad at all

The other day I was driving in my car and was just having another bad day. I've been having a lot of bad days recently when so much changes going in around me that its hard to keep up. On top of that, the amount of knock backs I have to handle as well so my psychological buffer was on a thread.

I mean, I encountered 4 car breakdowns, lost items, lost money, lost lots of sleep so I really felt it was the worse ever I must be going through. Not to mention the gloomy physical cloudy weather that just also seem to be having a go at me and amplifying the situation.

But just when I felt like throwing the towel and maybe just returning to a "normal" kind of life of less worries I spotted this thing in the distance.

It was a dirty teddybear stuck on the back of a worn out dirt truck.

Our eyes met. I looked at him. He looked at me.

And for that moment, I was having a connect with this inanimate object, as if he was reaching out to me. And that if he had words he would say....

"What the fuck? You think you're tired? LOOK AT ME!"

And for that moment, I snapped out of it. I mean, I COULD hypothetically speaking, be that dirty looking teddybear who's probably been stuck there for like...10 years....watching the world go by and unable to anything about it.

Thanks bear.

I will remember you when the going gets tough.
