Moment of Clarity

99 percent of the time, I enjoy spilling my guts out onto the computer screen. I enjoy venting my daily frustrations, I enjoy voicing my occasional blues and I enojoy sharing my random thoughts. From time to time, I tend to dwell on the past and every little detail that has cast a mark in my heart; but today will be different.

As I sat down before the computer, firing up my browser and getting ready to blog about something that really ticked me off on the subway today, Anita messaged me.
Anita, together with Elton, are not only the nicest couple that I know from my days in Buffalo but they are also some of the most genuine and kindest souls that I have ever known. The first five minutes were typical, she asked me about what I have been doing these days with my new career and I selfishly wanting to talk about my own world. But then I found. Anita is a mom.

At first, I couldn't grasp the situation but when I saw the blog it all became very clear. My problems are so miniscule and insignificant. In today's world, where divorce rates seems to be higher than the gas price, it is nto only rare, but heart-warming to see two people making it work. Little Jesse has Elton's eyes and Anita's nose. The blog is not only full of adorable pictures of their fulfilling lives but you can tell the love that both Elton and Anita has for their little bundle of joy. I've known them as friends; Anita being a fun-loving and ooptimistic big girl and Elton being the big brother that can tell me all about cars and play Call of Duty together (Elton, don't deny). But with Jesse, I see the other side of their beautiful soul, the nurturing and selfless side that I rarely see in other people.

Thank you, Anita, for making my day. This is the kind of bombshell that I don't mind getting. More importantly, thank you for keeeping me in the loop and I feel very privileged to be on your busy thoughts, even for a brief moment.

Life is full of hassels, big and small. But all the frictions from this dog-eat-dog world seems meaningless in a moment like this. I'll try to keep this warm and fuzzy feeling as I keep moving on, maybe this way I won't lose myself in this seemingly endless city.
