Out Of Place Led Me To Be In Place

"I wanna go to the restroom."

When we utter this statement to ask for permission, do we always go there to answer the call of nature? Well, I bet either you are a man or a woman the answer is no.

For instance, I told my friends, "I wanna go to the restroom."Do you want to guess why? Well, just for a very simple reason, I couldn't relate to what they were talking about - names of people whom I haven't ever encountered in my years and years of studying. Titles I haven't heard from my teachers and seen in my reading. I was like, "What in the world am I doing here?"As the conversation went along, I was quietly thinking, "Should I get myself 'updated' of all the celebrities, movies, dramas, and... for me not to be out of place?"It was a funny moment, so my inner self wanted to have a break for a little while. I slowly walked to the restroom to rest. lol!

As I entered, this painting and mirrors caught my attention. I took photos of them, and while doing so I said to myself. "I like this. When I have more time to spare, I will learn more about how to paint." It dawned on me when I was younger holding my paintbrushes, dirty hands with paints around in front of my canvas pretending to be like a professional painter with out of this world creativity. Oops, let me pause and get back to my topic.

My friends' enthusiasm for celebrities they admire, loveteams they are a fan of, dramas and this, and that...led me to realize how I am enthusiastic about my own craft? I resolved myself to do something about my interest, so then I will also exude such enthusiasm.

"I wanna go to the restroom," could be a way to be in a place of reflection.

Thanks for reading. ^^
