I think Life should be a woman, if Life could ever be given a gender. She has PMS days (or months or years for some) and mood swings like you'd never imagine. Life has the uncanny ability to spring forth such unforeseen circumstances at you that you wonder why you were unhappy with your previous arrangement in the first place (yes, I think everyone would agree that Life gets worse when you least expect it). I always laugh when it starts to 'rain', I've got this idea that it'll always 'start pouring' sooner or later. It saves me the anguish of expecting a silver lining and not getting it. Below is a few reasons why Life should be a woman (I made it up myself... haha...). But of course, most of it is very subjective and in no way a sexist thing. Sheesh, I'm making women look bad as it is.
1. She likes to make things happen when you least expect it, like giving you the promotion/scholarship/(insert very much desired thing here) you always wanted after years of waiting or taking away the very thing you cherish (just because you've had it so long you've forgotten to treasure it's very existence) or giving you more problems than you can handle when you've got enough to drown you.
2. She likes to give you things in such a way that it is bittersweet. She makes you very happy and very sad at the very same time. For example, allowing you to realize that your ex still loves you and that you still love him/her but it's too late because you're getting married today. It's just as if she enjoys burning you (the ant) under a very big magnifying glass but saying 'I love you so much' at the very same time.
3. She is not always that way though, sometimes she just makes you so happy you wonder why you don't love her more... but that can go down the drain when she crushes you so exquisitely you wonder, "WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO AND DO THAT!?!?! WE HAD A GOOD THING GOING! ARGH! LIFE SUCKS! $)>%*$#)^
4. She makes you make very difficult decisions between your wants (what you really want or the wrong thing to do) and her (the right thing to do) but doesn't tell you which decision is which and sometimes the right thing to do can become the wrong thing to do and bla bla bla. Basically confuse the crap outta you.
5. Ok, I ran out of reasons. Well, more like I got tired of typing and thinking. To be continued then...
