As I left my house for Burbank today, there was some random heavy traffic in the 5 south. I thought I was gonna be late for my doctors appointment today so I rushed as soon as it cleared up on the 170 and 134. I made it right outside the medical complex a full 2 minutes before my appointment time, but of course, theres no parking. Worries about being late to my appointment, I was almost ready to just pay $2 for 20 minutes in the garage complex but I decided to try my luck and take one mkre lap around the building before I decide that and to some avail, someone was leaving right as I was about to turn into the complex. I quickly took his spot and quickly walked the the building. As i made my way to the elevator, i glanced at my watch and it read 2:17pm. Not too bad, I said to myself, considering the traffic and leaving my house late. Today must be my lucky day. The elevator doors opened and I made my way the the office. I walked up to the check-in desk and told the receptionist there about my appointment at 2:15pm with a little smirk on my face having to have made it within reasonable time. She was having some difficulty finding my appointment so she asked for some personal information and then she made a face of realization and looked at me and said oh thats why I couldnt find you for today, your appointment is for tomorrow. My smirk quickly faded. So, Ive been sitting in the lobby ever since I got here writing this. -.- There is a moral to this excerpt in my life: I was about to say FML, and become upset at the fact that I sat in traffic on a hot day, spent gas coming here for almost nothing, and canceled certain plans. But with the passing of one of my favorite childhood actors in one of the most tragic ways to go, I decided that life was too short to trouble yourself with the small inconveniences of life, and instead enjoy what good can come from them. Happiness is a choice: we can either choose to dwell on what misfortune can be bestowed upon is, or we can choose to make the best of what we are given. Count your blessings, not your problems. My third wish wouldve been to have him here for just one more day so that maybe I couldve changed his mind. RIP Robin Williams, you will forever be a hero in my childhood. May you find eternal peace in Neverland.
