WhitneySome Things Just Happen
January 13th 2012 23:29
In the famous words of Sugarland, "It Happens."
We all know that there are some things that we just can't prevent and just don't have a say so in how it turns out. We don't realize when we start a marriage that it will be a failure, and we don't plan an accidental pregnancy when in a new relationship.
In some cases, there are people where things just happen to. The events do not have to be odd or abnormal events, but these people are just prone to a life of unfortunate events.
For example, in my own life, the past two years include the following events that are just unfortunate, but not necessarily abnormal.
1. Boyfriend (at the time) cheats on me with his ex girlfriend and gets her pregnant.
2. After sticking out the relationship for a year and a half, the ex girlfriend's miscarriage, and the personal hardship of dealing with the events without the help of the boyfriend, we go on a break.
3. During said break, he gets back with the girlfriend, and I find out from his friends that he and I are broken up.
4. He moves in with the ex, now his current girlfriend.
5. During all of this, my parents decide their 29 year marriage is failing and should have ended 25 years prior.
6. My dad decides to tell me that he's seeing my best friend and they are in love.
7. When my father leaves the house, my mother decides that my dog must go with him, and I have no say-so in the matter.
8. My father and best friend buy a house together and move in down the street from my mother.
9. My mother takes all her aggression and anger out on me, and even though our relationship has always been a distant one, it's now a problem. She also makes incoherent rules about my friend driving on the street that goes by our house, even though it is the most direct route to the main road.
10. My dad breaks it to me that my friend is 5 months pregnant.
11. Now, we circle back to all those feelings and emotions from 2.5 years prior that got buried without being able to properly grieve and work through bc the boyfriend wouldn't let me (getting mad every time I tried to talk about my feelings).
Some times, things just happen and there's nothing you can do about it.
These events aren't necessarily abnormal, as they happen to many people all the time. It's just that they happened all within one span of time. My life has been this way for the past 25 years, and it gets old.
