"Whatever Happens Around You" by Alex

---

Why doesn't he bother me yet some one else does? When you live with someone as dedicated to music as he is, I suppose you cannot take things personally such as when he disappears for days at a time composing music in his recording studio or traveling the world performing in front of audiences comprised of tens of thousands of adoring fans who just want to listen to his music or watch his fingers slide effortlessly along the neck of his guitar as he performs musical magic, blistering arpeggios and intervallic leaps, turns and bends that would make Beethoven blush.

Yet other mundane and trivial things such as not emptying the trash or taking the dog for a walk or putting the cap back onto the tube of toothpaste frustrate and anger me. Why? Have you ever grabbed a tube of toothpaste and the toothpaste squirted everywhere because your husband was on some distant planet composing another wonderous melody and forgot to screw the cap on properly? Or have you ever sat on the toilet only to discover, after the fact, that there was no toilet paper? How could anyone be so damn inconsiderate and rude? And then I think why me? What have I done to be treated with such disrespect, inconsideration and contempt?

It is then that I remember the words of Don Miguel Ruiz:
“Whatever happens around you, don't take it personally. Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves.”

Setiap kehidupan tidak selamanya akan bahagia terus dan sedih terus. Pastinya kita akan ada di titik bosan, jenuh, dan capek dalam hidup. Kadang juga kita merasa bingung apa yang harus saya lakukan? Apa yang harus saya kerjakan? Saya harus apa?

---

Berbagai macam pertanyaan muncul ketika kita bosan, diam sejenak memikirkan pertanya-pertanyaan yang muncul. Saya sedang ada di fase bingung apa yang harus saya lakukan, saya mulai bosan dengan kegiatan monoton, padahal dulu saya orang yang sangat enjoy berada di rumah tapi kini saya mulai bosan.

---

Mungkin kegiatan yang saya lakukan saat ini adalah mencoba untuk kegiatan produktif, dan kegiatan baru. Kegiatan baru atau kegiatan yang belum pernah kamu coba, coba deh pasti nanti tidak akan bosan lagi dalam hidup!

---

Seperti kalo kamu belum pernah naik gunung, coba kamu mencari komunitas pendaki gunung. Atau traveling, atau yang lainnya.

---

Semangat untuk kamu yang sedang bosan! Semuanya akan berlalu. Fighting!

Katherine didn't hold back her smirk, licking her bottom lip suggestively after Damon corrected himself and although that continuation of the sentence that she expected, she couldn’‎t help but enjoy his come back. "Welcome back, Damon." She voiced her thoughts with a smile that slowly threatened to look too genuine for Katerina's liking.

The Petrova scoffed, seeing an opportunity in his Romeo comment to reveal even more of what she knew. After that epic confession, Katherine didn't mind giving in as long as it was controlled and not as generous as his confession of eternal love was. "That's funny, I thought you already did pull a Romeo and Juliet for me once." She teased, headed tilted to the side, could he guess what she was referring to? She continued, "you know, refusing to continue your transformation, not wanting to live cause there was 'no world without me'?" She quoted his human self through pouted lips, allowing the Salvatore to know exactly just how close she's been all that time.

She marveled at a weak Damon finally rising to his feet, she could see that he wasn’t quite okay yet but he was certainly trying to be and it took all that’s in her to not speed to his side to help him up, that would have been to Elena of her, she feared. Plus this wasn’t Stefan, it would be almost insulting to help Damon up like that even if she knew he’d appreciate it.
Damon spoke again, closing the space between them, the air thickened with sexual tension. Katherine smiled, her eyes traveling slowly across his torso, all the way up to meet his eyes. So he was serious about that shower, she thought.
She snaked an arm around his neck seductively as her other hand drew circles on his chest with her index finger. “hey, you’re the one inviting me for a shower Mr. Salvatore.” She teased playfully, slowly pressing her body closer to his. How dare he bring up her seducing him just as he invites her to the shower with him? Regardless, she always enjoyed his boldness. Katherine was aware that this was different; she’d never had issues seducing the Salvatore before but knowing that he still felt something for her, something so deep, it certainly made a difference. She wouldn’t dare toy with his feelings again, not after he’d bared himself emotionally in front of her the way he did. But damn it, the offer was too good to pass.
Her lips were bare centimeters from his when she took a step back and turned her her focus to the door. “Elena.” She announced, not hiding the frustration in her tone, just a second before Elena came into view, she’d graduated from eavesdropping to spying and Katherine’s ears had just picked up the spike in her heartbeat as she saw Katherine and Damon this close.
