I cried today. I don't know why I cried but tears kept falling down and however I tried to change the direction of my thought, my mind is still occupied with the news that was given to me. My closest friend broke the news today that she's pregnant. We were born in the same year and grew up in the same neighborhood and attended the same school for most of our lives since childhood. She's like the sister whom I never had and wish I had so the news was definitely a personal one.
The exact reason on why I cried is not obvious to me, but my guess is that the reason is mainly that the news was so unexpected that it's partially scary, it's frightening to know that my best friend will have an addition in her life. She said I will be like an aunt to the kid and that's when I started to cry. It was such an unexpected news that I broke me to pieces. Fear contributes to those teary eyes and from this experience, I learn to come to the unexpected with open arms and accept that being afraid is normal at any given news. Life gets messy and it's unpredictable, life is volatile, it's constantly changing and the best we can do sometimes is to flow with it and enjoy the ride. Every situation is an opportunity and we must all grab it and in in the end of the journey we might get something out of it, we might grow and gain strength from the situation.
