When The Wheel SUDDENLY Falls Off

Sometimes, life can't just be bad BUT worse enough to be harsh.  LIKE WHEN you thought you were having a good safe secure job until HR gives you the pink slip [that befuddles you more].  LIKE WHEN you thought you had the best ever bff in life UNTIL one day, your bff turns his/her back at a time WHEN you were struggling.   YES indeed, we got to brace ourselves When The Wheel SUDDENLY Falls Off📗📙📘

In truth and in fact, under normal circumstances, the WHEEL is NOT [supposed] to fall off just that because that's NOT characteristic of our normal daily lives BUT before we get so comfy, do brace yourself because there are points in our life WHEN something bizarre OR unexpected happens way beyond our slightest inkling.  And that's a GIVEN. And with that risk, the least we can do is to mitigate things WHEN such risk does hit you❎❎❎

Personally, I have witnessed unthinkable things hitting hard someone WHO never expected it to happen at all.  LIKE WHEN everything was dandy and shiny within the closely knit group of joint venture entrepreneurs UNTIL one of them just walks off in the middle of the night, leaving his business partners out in the cold, helpless how to cope with their financial woes.  LIKE WHEN you had a very close and trusted confidant that goes back donkey years until one day, he abandons you at a time WHEN you were down in the gutter, clutching on straws for help from any good samaritan💚💛💜

YES indeed, through the years, I learnt that with time and experience to see the 'bad' things that inevitably happen in our life as stimuli for growth, character development and even an increased faith and change, no matter how unwelcome in the moment these events might be.  Through the years at work, I did witness first-hand these sudden turns in life hitting badly someone whose only fault is to grind and kick his ass to work😌😌😌

Our takeaway:  True, sometimes things can be that bad, so disappointing OR even so discouraging that it's all one can do to keep breathing.  In dark times, life can be that unbearable.  And I DON'T intend to minimize OR dismiss the pain, grief OR loss that accompany life's most terrible events.  It is so important to grieve, to acknowledge and process our deepest losses BUT what pains me is that our own society DOESN'T do a very good job of grieving alongside people.  Instead, we're too quick to tell someone to cheer up, to get over it, whew!  Indeed, another stark reality in our life, WHEN THE WHEEL SUDDENLY FALLS OFF❗❗❗
