Is it a duck or a rabbit?

What angle are you viewing your circumstances?

My words come to me better in the still of the night. Silence. No shuffling of feet on the corridor, no slamming of doors or loud chatters of conversations. It is just me and, my thoughts in the golden hours.

Have you ever seen one of those paintings or pictures where there are two images in one, and basically I think it emphasises that we all see things differently or from another angle. That’s why I titled this post, duck or rabbit, because I know of an image whereby it looks like a duck swimming in the lake but if you change the angle of the picture it is a rabbit.

Now my brother’s friend, B, sent me an image with words saying “Don’t entertain what you don’t want” and I said, nah, I think it should have been “Don’t entertain what doesn’t want you”. This was his point he added to my words; both ideas are true at the end, whether I saw it in one light and he saw it in another light. B later said; you may show your true self to someone, and they might not want to see what you are showing them. That shouldn’t affect your image, who you are, how you still view things because in that situation you get 1 of 2 life lasting things, a friend/ bff/or more and etc or, you learn a life a lesson. Either way, the turn of the events will both be good, because you will be growing (but I would like to add that in terms of the life lesson, the other person probably hasn’t grown because no new knowledge has been gained from the same situation).

So, my final thoughts of the conversation I had with B was, sometimes we think when we are getting the shorter end of the stick in life. That being pain, it can be the best teacher we have met! While sadly, when all you have is good, it can cripple you in certain instances, as at times you might not be able to handle a situation or find the solution to that problem because, it has always been roses and tulips up your nose and never the bad breath under your nose.

A quick example, I had the fastest recovery after deejay, max 3 hours of ranting and venting, meditation, counting my blessings and finally, asking myself, if this was to be my last day would I spend it being in my negative feels for a boy that doesn’t care for my feels. My answer, FUCK NO! my mind changed, then my mood and, then my attitude. I changed the angle I viewed the situation from a duck to a rabbit.

I took life’s lessons from my past and used them to get me out of a problem efficiently and quickly (than the previous situation) for my soul, and I want you guys to do the same no matter the problem; be it at work, at home, with friends, with strangers, etc. So , I ask you, do you see a duck or a rabbit?
