The Calm From Within, When Chaos Erupt>> Hive-Reachout Weekly Prompt 72.

It is so amazing how we are already in the second to the last month of the year, sending down my pleasantries from this end, hope you are all doing perfectly fine? For today I would be participating on "Peace in the mess" so ride on with me.

This holiday has got me watching movies again it just that this time around I don't consume it much, so on this fateful day I was supposed to watch the dishes but because I had already eaten breakfast it was lazing me to wash I just lied down and was watching one movie like that, hours has gone past into the morning and that was when I remembered that I left the dishes unwashed, I then springed up from where I was lying down, took my phone and entered the kitchen to do justice to those plates crying for mercy.

And because I couldn't leave the movie I was watching I tried positioning the phone in the window where I can be watching the movie and washing the dishes, immediately I left the photo I didn't notice that it was slipping down slowly not until it fell deep into the bowl of water that I had kept for washing on the sink, with my chest almost pumping out and immediate sweat from nowhere fulling my face I rushed for the phone with my both hands just to see if I could remedy anything left, when I removed the phone dripping with water my movie was still playing not until some seconds when the phone went blank and mute on me.

I had a limited time to wash the plates and I haven't even made lunch so the first thing that came to my mind at that moment was to put the phone inside raw rice which was the practical theory I know of, I gently kept the phone inside there I washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen after which I rushed back to my check if my phone has started working but it was still blank, so I made lunch and calmly sat down thinking about who I had offended to have gotten this bad luck, luckily for me I had already made post for that day so that was out of my worries at the moment, I just had to remove my phone from the rice since it wasn't bringing any solution and I just held the phone in my hands praying silently for God to save me out of this mess I have gotten myself into, I had already decided my fate and I lay down on the bare floor almost falling asleep when my sister walked in and savaged the situation for me by reminding my already blocked memory that there was something like a phone repairer.

After everything was settled I realized that I wasn't worked up because I had almost lost my phone in that mess, I knew deep down that such chaos wasn't going to last for ever and that me being troubled wasn't going to fix anything, so to me peace and satisfaction from within is not the absence of chaos, problems or a messy situation but it is the ability for that person to stay calm in the midst of such, that experience brought a valuable lesson that has been a reminder sticking with me for so long.

Thank you so much for your time, I hope it was well spent, I love you all 🥰.
