Hey! Unexpected blessings in life have the funniest timing, and honestly, I think the universe is trolling me at this point. I don’t usually post two days in a row because my life is not exactly a Netflix series, but today something happened that made me sit down and write before my brain combusts from confusion.
When a Bad Day Turns Into a Life Rethink
Yesterday was awful. Not the dramatic kind where violins play in the background, but the quiet sort that makes you question your entire life while staring at the ceiling. I couldn’t even enjoy dessert, which is basically my emotional support food, so you can imagine how serious this is. I kept praying for something I really want, something I won’t state here because my luck is disastrous enough. Let’s just call it something meaningful. Something responsible. Something very adult. And like a responsible adult, I prayed for it. Repeatedly.
Today, the universe responded. Not with an opportunity or money or clarity, but with fur.
How I Got Them
While I was about to take a short nap in my car at the office parking area, I heard a tiny meow. At first, I tried to ignore it. I told myself that if it really was a kitten, maybe I should mind my own business. But of course, the meow got louder, more desperate, and somehow more sarcastic, like it was judging me for pretending not to hear it. Then, I found myself in a shop buying milk and a bottle, feeding an orange-and-white baby during lunch. Okay…
Then, after work, the traffic was unusually heavy. I complained and wondered who had cursed my journey. LOL. Then I saw a tiny black kitten on the opposite side of the road, traumatised while cars flew past. My heart dropped. I couldn’t just drive by. So I pulled over, and my husband had no choice but to help because if he didn’t, I would definitely feel so sad! And just like that, we got ourselves two new family members…In total, 22 cats now. Yeap.
Trying to Make Sense of the Chaos
Now I’m home, staring at two new unplanned housemates, trying to figure out what cosmic message I’m supposed to decode. I prayed so seriously for something important. Something logical. Something that fits a normal adult life plan. Instead, God handed me two kittens. I don’t see how this relates to what I asked for. Am I meant to start selling kittens to fund my dreams?HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Maybe this is just how unexpected blessings in life operate. They don’t match your wishlist. They come wrapped in fur, screaming for milk, demanding attention, and suddenly your entire day shifts from miserable to strangely meaningful. Maybe the universe is reminding me that even when I feel like I’m running on 3% battery, I still have the heart to care. And maybe compassion is a blessing too. I may not have gotten the clear sign I wanted, but I did get two tiny reasons to smile on a day I thought was going downhill. And honestly, that counts for something. Betul tak?
