Those two small circles with a decimal point in between

Those two small circles with a decimal point in between.
by Claire Esperanza

They ruined my life, those 2 small circles with a decimal point in between them. Well, not exactly my life, because that would be a total exaggeration, but then you get my point.

You do get it, am I right? Or am I right?

They ruined my day, but somehow, they gave hope and meaning to my knacked-up college life. I mean, I know problems are part of our everyday lives, but somehow that seems to be my problem: I don't have any problems. Weird, yes, I know, maybe impossible, but then it's the truth. I wake up in the morning with nothing to worry about, sure I have stuff wacking up my head all the time, but I don't really worry about them. Everyday is just a cycle for me, and though you can say that it should be a good thing when you don't have something to worry about - yeah, maybe it is - it doesn't make my life a really meaningful one to live. And I want that, I want to live a meaningful and purpose-driven life, I want to worry about things and solve them and be happy about what I have done and achieved.

These circles, no matter their consequences, believe me or think I'm a freak for thinking this all up, they've given me a life - a meaningful life. Of course it pained me so much to see them on my course cards with all the effort I have given, but then, it woke me from weaknesses and gathered up my strengths. I now have hope for each and every day that passes me, and this hope will keep me going and going and going until I reach the heaven that that gentleman up there has reserved for me... It's a gift from God, and I thank Him so much for it. I know better now than to lose myself to chance and instead try harder and be more that my best. And it will be something I will do not just for myself, but for Him and the people who will always be there to love me and support me no matter what. I couldn't be more thankful :)

Too much drama?
I know right.
