Expect the Unexpected

If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised than I am now.

I received a text message from a girl that I have been fighting like hell to get over for a couple of months now. Seems like a small innocuous act. The problem here is that I swear, I was in fact through with her and ready to tackle whatever was to be the next chapter of my life. I know this is true because I had not thought of this girl for a long time. That may seem meaningless on the surface, but when someone occupies your thoughts day and night, to the extent that they are the first thing you think of when you wake up, and the last before you get your shuteye, it is a huge step.

Alot of this story can be traced back to my "It Happens" post, I wrote not to long ago. Now I am at a complete loss for words due to a damn text message. Millions of questions have flooded my mind since. Why is she texting me? Why now? Do I respond? If so, what do I say?

After settling down, I thought about the scenario with as clear a head as possible. No logical reason came to me as to why she would text me. Last I knew she was perfectly happy with her boyfriend. I am not bitter or mad at her about anything. We became extremely close through all the crap we went through together. Because I still cared for her, I thought it necessary to take time to have some space between us. During that time I was able to "get over" the fact we were no longer together.

Now that I was finally at peace with myself, my phone vibrates in my pocket violently, scaring me half to death. And I am back to square one. Maybe it is all cyclical. Maybe Makine is right in that everything is a game. No matter how hard you try to be straight forward, there is always an edge or an upperhand to be had. I think it is completely bogus that person A can have such an effect on person B, that a simple dinky text message sends person B into an absolute frenzy.

No matter what the outcome of this seemingly trivial situation is, I have learned one thing. Expect the unexpected.
