Having a VERY an unlucky week

Updated: Aug 17, 2020

Sooooo its been a minute. Life has a way of taking over somehow. With that being said my last few weeks really tested my faith. I officially moved backed to Atlanta; yay right? Well yes and no. It's great to be back but the Covid numbers are still rising so that is scary. In addition I had to go apartment hunting which was a little bit easier than any of my other times but definitely more expensive because to even get someone to call you back you pretty much had to fill out an application and pay for the fees which we all know can be anywhere for $75 - $200. But I was able to get approved for 2 so that was great; I could move in one on the 7th and the other on the 17th. However the first one fell through because I couldn't get my income verified. The sad part was I was living in a hotel and only had it till the 7th. So I had to make another reservation at another hotel for the remaining 10 days. So on the 9th I'm asleep in my hotel room and I get a call to my room, (now I've been acting like a celebrity or someone in witness protection because only a selected few knew where I was.) it was the front desk calling to inform me that my car was in an incident ( as if it decided to go the store right quick on its own and was in an accident). She continues to say I'm just going to come to your room. A few minutes later a fire fighter was at my door. So of course I'm like what happened. I get outside and my parked car is now pushed 5 feet out of its paring space. Apparently a lady jumped the curb and hit my car. So now I'm dealing with moving and trying to get my car fixed. And by this point I was numb. I had so many emotions going on that I had no emotions. So the other day I'm laying in bed and the theme song to Friends pops into my head and if you don't know it here it goes:


So no one told you life was gonna be this way Your job's a joke, you're broke Your love life's D.O.A It's like you're always stuck in second gear When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month Or even your year, but

I'll be there for you (When the rain starts to pour) I'll be there for you (Like I've been there before)

You're still in bed at ten And work began at eight You've burned your breakfast, so far Things are going great Your mother warned you there'd be days like these But she didn't tell you when the world has brought You down to your knees and

I'll be there for you (When the rain starts to pour) I'll be there for you (Like I've been there before) No one could ever know me No one could ever see me Seems you're the only one who knows What it's like to be me Someone to face the day with Make it through all the rest with Someone I'll always laugh with Even at my worst, I'm best with you, yeah It's like you're always stuck in second gear When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month Or even your year I'll be there for you (When the rain starts to pour) I'll be there for you (Like I've been there before) I'll be there for you

And I started laughing. Because it was God who was making the song pop in my head out of no where I haven't watched Friends in at least a decade so I felt like it was him singing it to me letting me know that even when it hasn't be my day, my week, or even my year that he will be there for me likes he's been there before. I know it sounds silly but it got me through the rest of the week and that was good enough for me. And I hope it gets you through a bad week too.
