useless prevision

You know it will happen. You just have this feeling, but you cannot seem to convince anyone about that. You rather avoid it as long as you can, but now you have to, and time cannot wait anymore.

Then you do it and find that you were right.

Would it have been better if I had not known? Why does it feel so bad to be proven right? Maybe it contradicts my optimistic view of the world, or I feel that I should have protected myself more-but how? All along, I knew it would hurt, and it did hurt, and I still can't do anything about it.

Sometimes

Yes, you made a mistake, and it happend to be a really stupid one, too. You should have checked the note earlier, or wrote it down in your planner. You knew it was pretty important, and you could have easily gotten there if you had known. You weren't even planning to skip it. After all, you're a pretty reliable person.

But you didn't, and nothing can be done about it now but face the consequences. You might regret the fact that you didn't even get a choice. And now you now have a big mess to clean up.

Sometimes, if you think about it, things happen for a reason. Whether it was a supernatural force or just a feeling deep in your conscience, you missed it because things would have turned out worse if you had gone. And if it feels bad now, it's okay compared to what could have happened.

Sometimes things work out for the better.

pancakes

I got the Bisquick, eggs and everything I needed from the store.
I carefully measured and mixed each ingredient and stirred.
Then I put just the right amount of butter and batter in the pan.
I watch them cook them until brown.
Yet, no matter what, they turn out wrong, everytime.

And no one can seem to help me figure out why.
