How much do you LURVE Mondays?!
This morning was Monday morning, the best day of the week. I woke up in my apartment situated in a sprawling Asian city and there was no water coming out of the taps. Then the electricity went out. Thankfully, the back-up battery kept the fans going so that I wasn’t reduced to a pool of sweat. Half a bucket of water was kept stored in the bathroom, so I used a jug and had a traditional ‘bucket bath’. Then I was picked up for work and the company sent me a bus instead of a car, so off I went, the lone passenger in a bus. This made me feel pretty uncomfortable, especially because it’s very unfriendly to the environment and that’s why this city is saturated with pollution.
After work, though, my partner and I had a delicious meal in a chic restaurant and I came home to running water. At last. All these events proved to me how very lucky we are. We could have nothing but we have everything we need. Sometimes you have to see the struggle in life in order to feel strong and prove to yourself that you can take it. Here’s to making it through..!
