Randomness

One of the things I like about myself is how random I can be. Few times, I’ve been told that isn’t a good trait because it makes the other party unsure of what my actions can be in various circumstances.

But, why am I human if I can be predictable?

I’ve had several times where I utter statements that tend to bewilder people’s understanding and they try to comprehend my line of thought.

From uttering statements like “betrayal is needed in one’s lifetime”, to telling my friend that I would like to sell caskets sometime if I venture into business because people die daily, or thinking about how my parents were the cause of my short height and how they never took into consideration their children’s gene before being espoused to each other, to how I tend to scream my father’s name every time I look at the mirror because he had a dominant gene.

Thinking about the possibility of me not ending up with the fairy tales I have cooked up in my imagination is also another spur of my randomness.

I believe that I am not the only person who takes random thoughts like this. I mean, we all take thoughts, don’t we?

the rate at which I take them and say them is what amuses people occasionally. But, you’re not as much as different as I am, because you don’t get to say them to people doesn’t mean you are less random than I am.

I suppose we have times like that, but we differ in the way we handle random thoughts. Unlike me, who gets to spend time pondering on it, you might be quick to dismiss thoughts like that and go about your day which even makes you a better person at handling randomness than I am.

I long to see the day I become a master in handling them. Until then, I would laugh and enjoy the randomness of thoughts that barrages me during the course of the day and my leisure periods.

I mean, what’s there not to enjoy about randomness? The wittiness that comes with it, the realization of how hilarious they can be after taking them, or even being surprised at how far my mind could conjure such thoughts at brief moments.

Dear reader, I hope you get to enjoy the randomness of thoughts as much as I am doing right now. If you aren’t, you can as well begin today.
