The Rain After the Rainbow

People say that all good things must come to an end. In fact, if you think about it technically, all things, no matter if it's good or bad, must really come to an end. Happiness, just like a rainbow, ends abruptly, just like that. Think about the last time you were happy. How fast did it fade? Or did it fade at all or just instantaneously disappeared? How many time has tragedy replaced bliss? Does it always follow that there is rain after a rainbow has appeared?

Contrary to what many people say, life is really a rain after the rainbow thing. Who ever said that there's a rainbow always after the rain? Not in our lives, I don't think so. It's more of like the calm before the storm. Only, what we do feel are momentary blissful episodes followed by a period of tragedy, remorse, guilt or what have you.

I just came back from a weekend trip to a city far south of where I live. I was with some friends and we talked "business." I should say that it was a good trip. It was one of the more memorable local trips I have had for as long as I could remember.

Fast forward to today. A friend got angry at me. A former MBA classmate forgot who I was totally and even asked me if he knows me (now tell me, am I really that forgettable?). And to think it was just two days ago when I had the greatest ride of my life this month. And now, I'm back to the rain, the storm, the tumultuous sea that is life. And the worst thing about today: I am continuously craving for chocolates despite the fact that I'm on a diet. Why do you always crave for something that is not given to you or that you don't have? I guess that merits another blog entry.

Anyway, I promised myself not to be oversly sensitive this year. Who cares if people get mad at me? Who cares if someone forgets my name? No one! And that's just the way it is in this world. Sheesh! I should get a life (thanks to anonymous for this)!

And now, I'm off to search for that next calm. I am once again starting that quest for the next rainbow in my life. Damn. I hate rainbows.
