Gut feeling

 Serendipity? Coincidence? Luck? Bad luck?

Once in a while something unexpected happens. You analyze it or just shrug it off and ride it out. You enjoy or endure it while it lasts.

All of a sudden there’s a nagging feeling that it’s all too good to be true. We all know what that means. Then you insist that maybe you ought to give it a chance, even if you aren’t really sure why you ought to give it a chance. You give it the benefit of the doubt but at the same time you also start looking for signs. You pay extra attention.

When a sign presented itself you immediately cut your loses and wondered how invested had you been. You think it’s not a lot. You think you got out on time.

Then you realize the gut feeling you have is true all along.

You feel sad because you secretly feel it’s worth the shot but grateful at the same time for having the courage to go against the flow. Such is the rule of the opposites. 

It’s for the greater good, you said.

Is it good for you, though, you asked.
