[King of Anything - Sara Bareilles]

In the past week, I learned that having an abundant lot of patience is necessary for (especially) stressed people.
Patience keeps us at peace. We lose our patience, we lose our peace.
And peace keeps us sane.
Simple equation, yet often we ended up with not-equal-to-sane, usually because keeping the first variable positive isn't an easy job.

I also learned that our patience comes in a quota. The moment the word "wait" got registered in our head, our patience meter starts running.
Another thing is that we only have one general quota for everything. What I mean to say is, we don't have quota by sections - 10 hours waiting for pizza delivery per week, another 100 waiting for the boyfriend to come pick us up, etc. Once we've used up say, 49% of our quota waiting for the video to frikkin' buffer, we only have 51% patience left for everything else, including waiting for your brother to finish using the bathroom, and waiting for the clock to turn 5.30pm every weekday.

I failed to keep my equation positive last week. I pretty much snapped at things that used to didn't matter. Kudos to Microsoft Excel for that, since 93% of my patience for the week went to you.
But I still love you, Excel. (I have a love-hate relationship with this dude. He has helped me with so much, yet there are times things didn't work out so well with him...)
Please don't think I'm crazy.

Anyways. Alhamdulillah, thank god that is all over and done with now. I have my sane equation back to positive this week. :)
