The Shower That Woke Me Up!
Submitted by: Kiki
ArizonaA 20 year old girl on this crazy journey called life. Was lost but saved by writing. Aspiring to be a great an author.
Lately I’ve been surrounded by negative energy. I’ve been in a bad head space. As I was getting more depressed. Easily getting frustrated with everything. Just dwelling on the negative which made more negative things happen.
I decided I didn’t want to be this negative miserable person. I was in the shower saying all the bad things in my life. I made a list. I decided I was going to let the water wash away my problems. I continued saying the bad as I looked down at the water that was now filling up above my feet. I have a shower so it’s hard to fill the shower up unless it’s clogged.
Immediately I thought “Damn now I’ll have to hurry up and fix the drain.” I began trying to hurry up. As I was washing my hair I closed my eyes and finished the bad list and was now starting the list for all the good things in my life.
I was waiting for the water to fill up to my ankles. I didn’t feel the water coming up so I opened my eyes to find that there was no more water at all. Almost like it never was there. I began thinking was I imagining the whole thing? No, I couldn’t have. I felt the water against my feet and saw it. It couldn’t have been fake.
Then it hit me. It was a metaphor. All the bad was drowning me slowly. But when I was thinking of the good the water went down the drain. The good and positivity erased all the bad!
It was so simple but so empowering. It made me see things much clearer. It made me realize that now I can breathe and let go of all the bad that has happened to me. Now I want to focus on the good and what I want my life to be.
This “Secret experience” opened my eyes and made me WAKE UP!!!
