Realizations

When we are put in a place, the first thing that we do is to look for something that is not there. Where is the telephone? Where is the internet connection? Where is the heater? etc. Most of the time we fail to see what is there. Well, logically we won't be looking for something that is not missing. That's stupid. But the question is whether we really see what we have or do we deliberately refuse to accept the fact for one's existence.


Three days ago, I moved to a different dormitory. I was expecting that the new place would be better or at least the same with my previous dormitory. But I was disappointed. Everything I hoped for were just wishful thinking as I discovered the difference in my new dorm. I don't want to enumerate everything but I just want to tell you that it is really frustrating that I have decided not to stay for another month.

Then, here's the realization. Have I become so blind of the bright side that I opt to stay in the dark? Have I resigned myself not to see the good things in my dorm. Come on, things couldn't be that bad.
