Whenever I lose something, like a pair of sunglasses, or an accessory to an electronic device, I get frustrated. I upturn the house because I just<\/em> saw it in the junk drawer, or sitting on the side table. The more desperate I become in my search party, the more futile searching becomes. The search party is no party at all. It withers into a pity party in no time flat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, when I drop the search party, and the pity party, lo and behold, there it is, \u201cburied\u201d under a piece of paper on the side table. I didn\u2019t need it, that\u2019s why I could forget about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are frustrated, \u201ccall it.\u201d Your search for money – call it. Your search for love – call it. Your search for meaning – call it. Your search for attention – call it. Forget about the need. Your frustration and demand that it\u2019s essential is what keeps it at bay. Your desperation is the covering, like those papers on the side table, \u201chiding\u201d your precious, lost earring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you\u2019re not looking for a lover, not giving up in a huff of frustration and really letting it go, you\u2019ll stumble into that cute guy at the Kroger. Your heart flutters when he asks for your number. When you\u2019re not looking for money, a revenue stream opens. When you\u2019re not looking for inclusion, people invite you to those special, VIP events that \u201cno-one\u201d can get tickets for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you realize you\u2019re not in need, you\u2019ll call off the search party. Call off the hounds. No APB, no emergency. It\u2019s all here. It\u2019s just a game of forgetting about frustration and realizing you don\u2019t need what appears as \u201cbadly wanted.\u201d Calling off the search party, forgetting about it, and stopping the pity party strangely makes it appear as if it was always here, thinly veiled under a sheet of paper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Thursday, May 15, 2025 Whenever I lose something, like a pair of sunglasses, or an accessory to an electronic device, I get frustrated.
