Have you ever been caught up with issues in life that you wish you could go to some place far away, far away from all the drama? Sometimes I wish that, many times actually. Everyday is one story or another. Just when you think you have gotten over an issue, another one manages to raise its ugly head.
For some days now, I have been noticing an uneasy feeling in my abdomen. Only for me to go to the hospital and get news from the Doctor that I have ulcer. I asked myself, "How?" All along I had thought that people who are affected by ulcer are those who don't feed well. Because if that was the case, then it had nothing to do with me. Not until the doctor told me it can also be caused by too much stress. How interesting.
Well, if stress also causes it, then that explains the reason because I've been going through a lot lately, especially at my place of work. I run a kiosk around a secondary school. People always troop in the eat. I get a lot of drama from people who come there to eat. Some people will finish eating their meals, and when it's time to pay, it becomes an issue.
Some will say they didn't know the price of the food costs the amount, denying I didn't tell them, even if I did. Some will eat and tell me to put the bill on someone else's that they came with and then leave. When I meet the person they said I should, the person will deny agreeing to that. This is just a portion of the matters I face. In times like this, I wish I could go to a place where there is an absence of all these.
Listening to a song by one of my favorite artists made me realize that God actually provided me with such a place, and that is in my dreams. Dreams, a song by Aurora, is a soul-lifting song that I connect with at a very deep level when I come across these experiences. A Dream, though a temporary event, is where I experience quietness from all the noise of this world.
It's a shame that the peaceful feeling is just for a moment though.
