This is the title of my favorite song from the Mamma Mia movie…YES, I AM a HUGE fan of musical movies but this is not what it’s about right now.
Wondering why I choose that title? Well because it’s the truth, everything slips through my fingers. My phone, my card, my steering wheel, my books, my handbags, you name it! You know those movie scenes where they show an actor falling into the emptiness and someone tries to help bring them back up? Yeeaaah, I’d be the last person who could save anyone in that particular situation. NOPE, COUNT ME OUT.
I have broken multiple cell phones and each time, part of the reason is because my hands are so wet that I cannot grab it and stop it from falling. All my friends and family can testify to that. The day someone invents a phone case that is “HARRIELLE-PROOF”, I’d never break a phone. Life-proof phone cases got nothing on these hands. Some days, either in the Winter or Summer, I’ll have sweat running from my fingers to whatever it is I’m holding; a Kleenex just shreds in my hands, leaving little pieces behind. Yeah. I never really have to worry about having ashy hands.
When I work out, people always suggest that I use chalk on my hands to avoid the weights from slipping; well that turns into mud when it gets on my hands, the best option is gloves. At least gloves do not look as weird as the mud on my fingers right!
Fun fact: when I was younger, my mom used to wrap all my school books with paper so they would not be torn apart the more I use them. BIG FAIL!!! She had to cover them up in plastic because at least the sweat couldn’t pierce through. I wet the paper or notebook when I’m writing for an extended amount of time. As a result, I still hate having to hold anything when I have to go anywhere. I love (and NEED) pants or dresses with pockets. Also, I find handbags annoying, pretty but annoying because I still have to hold it. Backpacks are my kind of thing but unfortunately it’s not always LADY-LIKE to carry backpacks around. Therefore, at times I have to trade in comfort for the LOOKS.
Have you ever gotten lost because you could not unlock your phone to check your itinerary??? No?? Well I’m a pro when it comes that, it happens to me at least twice every Summer. Imagine you’re late for work and you can’t even call your superior to let them know because your hands are so sweaty your phone screen sensors just won’t cooperate…. frustrating right?!!!!
Time slips through our fingers all the time and we try to capture every minute…… of course, I started singing.
Anyway, there’s always something or someone slipping through our fingers; a phone, a loved one, food, opportunity and time, but we must keep going right? That is the journey of life…
KEEP PUSHING AND DO YOUR BEST !!!
Well I’m going to prepare some snacks…
Until then, BE KIND!
