Have You Ever…?

Have you ever gone to work every morning, all fresh and ready to start working on your to-do list… BUT keep getting interruptions and attending to other people’s “URGENT” requests throughout the day – and before you realised the time, your colleagues are already waving goodbye and leaving for the day?

And poor you, you are still stuck at your desk, with your initial to-do list from the morning, with NONE of the items struck off…

And every of your own to-do’s are on hard deadlines as well?

Have you ever agreed to meeting someone, when you actually don’t really feel like meeting, and then start to curse and swear at yourself for agreeing?

OR

Have you ever made a MAJOR purchase which you immediately regret the moment you step out of the shop and wonder if you were being hypnotized by the salesperson, and again, start to curse and swear at yourself?

Have you ever tried being in a happy discussion such as planning a friend’s wedding, while, at the same time, also on the line trying hard to calm a friend down, who was crying her heart out because she could not understand why her boyfriend brushed her off – at a time when she thought she needed him most?

It’s scary.

It’s VERY hurting.

Who could you trust anymore? When the person whom you thought you could trust your life and happiness with, leave you stranded and feeling helpless… And you actually have to turn to other people for help…

The irony?

When you explained why you were upset in your calmest voice and tone, he blew his top at you…

The result?

You ended up apologizing to him instead…

Have you ever tried re-scheduling all your appointments, not to mention you already have a very jam-packed calendar, or put down whatever important tasks you are currently doing, or sacrificing your much-needed sleep – just so you can spend a couple of hours with that special someone?

The irony?

He/she doesn’t know that he/she has messed up your schedule BIG time.

But does he/she need to know?

No.

Why?

Because you did it willingly. And you are happy to do it. And if we were to turn back the clock, you would still do the same thing all over again.

What do you call this behaviour?

Some call it love. Some call it silliness.

What do I say? I don’t know… ….
