Cellphones… The complexity of my life came when I began to own my first cellphone. I acquired it last December 7. I thought that it could bring me good benefits like to call my mom if I get home late. I desired it to be of simple use but then it had become part of my stressful life. You see, some of my well-meaning friends miss-call or drop-call me late at night! Oh, I really hate those times when I’d wake-up and answer those calls… I get really busted when they just want to say “hello� and ask me what I’m doing. I’d want to say “I’ am a sleepy-head right now no please go to sleep and I’ll get my beauty rest� but I can’t. I just entertain them and when the call finishes, my eyes would be wide awake and can’t get to sleep. Another thing that really pisses me off is when new numbers appear on my message inbox. I had to go under guessing games or ask who this texter is. I end up not getting worth of my peso or the bad thing I would always think off is it was just a mis-send. Lastly, some of my guy friends give their friends my number. I just hate it when they text me, “Hi! Cn u b my txm8?� getting the information from one another could cause a 20 pesos payment to Globe Telecom. It is the root of why my best friends have ill feelings towards me because I got no load when they text me. If I can get hold of things which could make living move complex, am I living still a simple life? Simplicity entails happiness consists of accepting what you have and what you are. I accept who I am but the thing I accepted makes me unhappy. That simple thing that I thought would give me blessings made me curse people and myself. Maybe, I might not have lived according to my means. It just means that I’m showing off what I am not. Just like my cellphone. I use it when I really need it but when friends have problems, I always do my best to be available to them all the time, I text them and give them advices but it drains my energy when all the efforts I have given them goes down to the sink. Most of the time, their problems affect me so I tell them to address their problems to themselves and go on with their lives. I have all the right in the world to be happy and I also I have to go on with my life. But life has its ups and downs. In order to have these problems solved, I have to dig in to the simple cause, get step-by-step complex calculations and end up having a simple answer. In some degree, I might experience anger, irritations or sadness but in the end, jubilant shouts would reign inside me. To experience happiness is to experience other emotions. The ideal I should work towards is to be truly accepting what I have and what I really am, to enjoy life simply whenever possible and to feel happy most of the time. I say most of the time because nobody is going to be happy every moment. Life is just not like that. Happiness needs to be earned, worked at and appreciated. So this complex cellphone I have earned and worked at should be appreciated. I appreciated it when I use it for emergencies, when I text my brothers and friends for something we ought to talk about and when I need to call my mom I’ll be home by this time. I also have to appreciate it when this cellphone brings problems but most of all, I appreciated it when a simple inspirational message like this appears: “Life roads aren’t meant to be traveled alone…count on friend to walk by your side… And trust in God to show you the way Godspeed!� Simple yet so touching…
