Normally I don’t take much stock in fortune cookies. I know
that there is a whole group of people randomly concocting vague “fortunes”
designed to strike a chord with anybody likely to crack open a fortune cookie.
And it would probably go a little something like this in the
fortune cookie writing headquarters:
“Hey Bill, check out this one I came up with: You find beauty in ordinary things, do not
lose this ability.”
And then Bill
would be like
“Yeah, listen to
this one: A thrilling time is in your immediate future.”
And then they
would both laugh and be like “Suckersss. Someone out there is gunna think
they’re special.”
What a bag of
dicks fortune cookie writers are.
Anyways, I usually
just read the fortune and add “between the sheets” to the ending because it
makes me giggle. For example, “A thrilling time is in your immediate future…
between the sheets.” Hehehe! I’m also convinced that fortune cookie writers
have this in mind when they write the fortunes because they always seem to fit
so well together! Or maybe I just need to get my mind out of the gutter…
However, these
are desperate times, I’m in dire straights man, and other such overused clichés
(that's actually not even true, I'm just being dramatic. I say this at the risk of making the whole premise this story untrue. Suck it, I'm trying to be heartfelt.) So, returning from that tangent, the point is that I decided to take one fortune cookie
to heart.
And it was this: If you’re not happy with what you’ve got,
how could you be happy with more?
And I was like, okay little Asian cookie, you could have a
point there. I really should be happy with what I’ve got. I’m young, and life
is hardly ever dull because my friends are some of the craziest people I know,
and I have a whole network of people who love me and will put up with my
whining. But most importantly, I have so many possibilities. Because the one
upside of being unemployed and uncertain (besides endless free time to do
whatever I want) is the boundless potential. Just like a stone on the brink of
a cliff has the potential of high velocity, so do I, on the brink of many
possibilities, have the potential of great things.
Oh and also, "If you're not happy with what you've got, how could you be happy with more?... between the sheets." HAHAHA :)
