A few weeks ago, I was traveling to another state, and we were already in motion in an eighteen-seater passenger bus when suddenly the bus entered an unexpected gallop, which made everything drift. And one of the passengers from the back should, in our lack language, “strap yourself in,” but we all know all these buses do not have anything like seatbelts, which made some of us laugh. I can not easily forget that moment because after the event, we were asking him if it was his first time entering commercial buses.
Exactly, that is what life can look like sometimes. Some things just happened without giving us any warning, let alone warnings. One minute everything is going on very smoothly, and another moment life happens. Life issues that no one can easily explain, but anyway, it happens.
Yes, they said we must always get prepared for those unexpected moments, but no one knows when those moments could be, and this is why I always tend to hold myself very steady even when nothing feels stable.
One thing that is now very helpful to me is that I no longer slow down when things are not going well; I take action on the spot before it goes otherwise. Now I do it with courage and very carefully. Because now for me, when it comes to surviving the ride, it is already in a kind of silent progress.
Thank you for reading.
