It’s the small things that make life bearable

I often get frustrated when the little things go wrong because they’re the things that make life bearable. Waking up on time, having enough coffee to make a drink, and the weather doing what it’s supposed to do so you’re not caught out. The simple shit.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t freak out and let myself get in a bad mood when these things don’t work out, but it’s annoying. When big things go wrong, I expect it to a degree because you need more things to align which is difficult. All it takes is one thing to go wrong and you’re fucked. It’s normally a person that fucks everything up I’m not gonna lie.

I live from a schedule mostly and I religiously follow it so I can make sure I am prepared for the day and the future. I’m not a busy important person with 100 things to do at all times, although we all have days like that. I just like to be on time and keep on top of things.

Doing this has made it easier to accept when things do go wrong as I’m usually prepared. If you do things right every day when something does go wrong you’ll be in a better position to handle it.

The small things in a place like work for example often go wrong, this is why I am often frustrated at work. The small things always go wrong, and people make sure of it by not training you properly and not taking responsibility…
