Serendipity

Traveling back from a tiring day at work, my mind still felt hungry for some more knowledge. As I transcended into the world of the mind (My book - being ‘How your mind works’) the outer world seemed too involved running the rat race to notice anything but tiredness and stress from a busy day.

Beep, beep, beeep.... one after another people kept punching in their NOL cards. The chapter that I was visually present in, a lot different. It spoke about the small adventures one has and the little moments we treasure. The impromptu meetups and the last-minute decisions. Every bit of my heartfelt content reading such a good few pages.

10 minutes were over and my heat pack well heated now rests behind my back as I continue writing this. This weekend has quite the schedule. Being lazy after a tiring day, I dozed and woke up hungry craving some waffles and falafel, the same things that were very well laid out at our breakfast gathering this morning.

My tired legs and drowsy eyes didn’t hesitate to put on a jacket, scarves, and socks to go out in this snuggle weather. As I waited in line to carry home my freshly made falafels, my eyes seemed to stop at the outdoor seating area, well lit, happy, and inviting.

The music playing in my earphones, the falafel perfectly made and the weather I decided to eat my dinner there. After just a few moments I was very content and at this moment for the first time, I  enjoyed a meal that I paid for and didn’t feel guilty about.

What I learned here is so important. It's important to spend money on your self, even if it's only a budget. It's important to have some small pleasures that give you happiness. It's important money work for your comfort rather than dictate your life for you. You get what you give.

Unchain my heart, baby let me go, unchain my heart, you don't love me no more. Set me free. Let me go my way.
To my higher self. My beloved ego.
