experience is what you get if you don't get what you expect

we live with routines, whether we like it or not
those routines sometimes define us: what we are, who we are.
they are like a set of identities that we relate ourself to.
routines can be our work or our profession or our role in personal life
with routines, we almost expect things would be placid,
without much surprises, and one there is, it would be small ripple
and not a blasting waves

i've got my ripple today. not so big, but quite annoying
a ripple that gets bigger by the time it reaches my heart's shore.
you know how waves are, they may got amplified, or diminished,
depending on what they encounter as the pass

i guess with me, things tend to be amplified instead of being diminished

so, thing happened that i did not expect
thing that juggles my routines
thing that makes my balance wobbly

i told someone that
and that someone told me
'take it as an experience'
'an experience is something you get
when you got things you don't expect'

wise words
