It’s hard to keep on top of things in life.
There’s exams (T_T), family, friends, chores, bills, fun, etc.
I’m pretty sure I bombed the exams. I hope I’m not the only one. At least the weather is nice now.
I recently bought a car and am enjoying the new freedom. I also recently bought tickets for a concert in September. Two of my favourite bands are on tour and I am so excited!!!
I mean, these are people that I have been listening to since before high school. They first went on indefinite hiatus and I screamed with joy when I heard they made another album, and then that it was released so quickly. The second I thought I would never get to see in concert. It’s a dream come true for me.
And now, to get a car and pop in a new CD 5 years later and still be in love, it’s so surreal.
A bit of a backstory to get to the moral of this. I have been searching for a car for a while. I got my license late; I left home early and no one really ever took the time to teach me and so I only got it recently. A car seemed like a distant, rosy dream. I absolutely love driving though, so it seemed a cruel fate.
But I finally saved enough money for a car! So I searched and searched. I found one that looked good…but in the end proved too expensive. And then, last week, there they were, two perfectly priced cars. I made appointments to see them–but they were snatched up before I could get to them. The second time my appointment was cancelled half an hour before I was supposed to see it. Fueled by frustration, my boyfriend’s family and I furiously scavenged the ads for more vehicles and lo and behold, the perfect candidate!
Two hours later I became the proud new owner of a nice little V6 compact car, a shiny silver North American beauty all my own. The streets are now mine to roam!
Patience pays off. We need to save our money. We need to wait for good things, good music. We can’t force things to happen, or they won’t. Or at least they won’t happen the right way. Sometimes you’re so caught up with Pete’s eyeliner and charm you forget that Patrick is the real deal (if you get that reference, marry me).
These past few weeks have really taught me that life does not always go as we expect it, and that’s usually a good thing.
Now off to watch Kanokon!
