Adjustment Period
"I hate people who can't adjust!"
The guy I was talking through Hornet told me one Sunday afternoon.
"I'm sorry, I can't go there late. The transportation will be difficult for me."
I replied.
"Stop saying sorry, you're only making yourself look pathetic."
He nonchalantly texted back.
I stopped.
You see, I always had trouble adjusting. Most people I know adjust fairly easily - work, environment, family - almost everything.
I don't. The moment I feel that it will be of inconvenience, I don't give in.
Sure I could adjust when it comes to school or gym days or the time I eat, but bookings, work, and sometimes, even social life, I reject the idea.
This much has troubled me in the past and still haunts me up till now.
That is how I think. That is how it goes. But definitely - sooner or later - I have to adjust whether I like it or not.

Well that guy's a bitch. And I'm glad you didn't give in.
ReplyDeleteI could have lashed at him thru text though, but, you know, my mom taught me well. :)
