Unfortunato

Usually, change is good, unless occurring at the wrong instance. Change is an unstoppable phenomenon that the world outrageously put into existence. As if intentionally happening on the most unlikely moments, surprising us with the dilemma it causes.
I call them “unfortunate events.”

Life is a series of unfortunate events and it happens in sequels.

Misfortunes happen. They are consequences of previous mischievous acts, or choices born of some personal basis. Despite the warnings of the onset of such misfortune, it could also be brought about by change, or could be any random reason for its existance. But there is a reason why misfortunes happen, as everything else does.

Sooner or later reasons will unfold, but only for those who patiently endured the suffering and strong enough to accept things.

No one said it will be easy to make it through, but it is darn possible. Two things: learn believe in yourself, especially in the big guy up there. At the same time, do everything possible, as much as you can to overcome this “unfortunato”, do it all. With certainty, in perfect timing, and for the right reasons.

If you’ve done and given it all and there’s nothing left more to do, you’ve given them all, it drained every will in you, you’re exhausted and wound-up, but still you are unfortunate, then surrender and accept defeat with no self-pity but with pride. You did not fail, you just didn’t win. It doesn’t mean that it is not meant for you, rather you deserve something so much better. Life will favor them to you, in time.

It is not written in the stars nor does destiny foretold where would we be or where we’re supposed to be, what will we have or what we don’t have, not even what we will lose. We chart our own paths, we make our own ways, we choose and nothing intervenes with our choices. Everything that happens is a mere reflection of our decisions, no one is to be blamed, not even fate. Misfortunes happen not because the universe told so, but because of your decisions in the past.

Eventually, unfortunate events end. There may be a sequel but even unfortunate events are good stories. They leave memories that only time can delete and messages only experiences can send, all for a good cause albeit in an unpleasant manner.

After all the deletion is done and lesson learned, a stronger spirit emerges, a better person comes forth, and an inspiration arises for those who knows the story. Looking back will be liberating: that you were once in that abyss and escape was just a matter of sleep.
