Everyone has their "thing". Just as Ross Gellar's thing is divorce, or Brangelina's thing is that they have all the kids in Africa, my thing is Murphy's law.
No one just breezes through life. Everyone has to whether the obstacle course of life. The variations of such, however, differ greatly. While some people leap through the starting ring and flounce their way through the bouncy castle obstacle course of life, only wondering about if they remembered to take off their shoes, others are bear-crawling through the mud with the weight of many things clinging onto their neck for added weight. It's not to say the bouncy castle people are being cheated of any real adversity, because please, who hasn't taken a air-filled vinyl protrusion to the face, but they have to constantly compete with someone, whereas the mud-draggers compete purely with themselves.
Who are you? Bouncy Castle or Mud Dragger?
My "thing" of Murphy's Law carries over to much of my life. Anything that can go wrong, will. I get sick an unsightly amount, and it's not like a basic cold, or a stomach bug. I fortunately have a stomach of steel, in case you were wondering. Where I do not present to have steel anything is my kidney area. Well, if you count the large pebbles chillaxin' in my kidney as steel (which you probably should) then I formally retract that last statement. The kind of sick I get are the random ones, that you can't see, presenting larger problems than they should. Going to the doctor now, I have quickly learned that it's never just a headache, but its a special type of migraine that is wildly unpredictable, and that it's never just a basic check-up, but it turns to surgery consultation.
HOWEVER
I do mean to brag when I say that another one of my "things" is I am resilient. I will not be defined by the an inordinate amount of kidney stones or asthma or anything that may briefly set me back. Yes, it is a part of me, but it is not in any way who I am. There are many things that have helped lead me to who I am, but they are not what I am. I am not a kidney stone, I am a person, I bear-crawl and drag the hell out of whatever Murphy's Law decides to toss my way. No matter if you are a bouncer or a mud-crawler, you need to take whatever vinyl rock wall or mud puddle you are given because everything you get is given to you for a reason, even if you haven't figured it out yet... I sure haven't.
