Rants from the Mess – The Trashcan #4

Dinner’s plan was simple.

Egg. Hotdog. Nothing complicated.

But life said, “Let’s add a little chaos.”

I dropped the egg.
Straight to the floor.

Reflex kicked in—
I picked it up right away.

I looked at it…
The yolk was still intact.
The white? Scattered.

Kind of like me on some days.
Trying to hold myself together,
even when parts of me have already fallen apart.

And for a second, I just laughed.
Because sometimes, that’s how it is, right?

Not everything can be saved.
Not everything stays whole.
But something is still left.

And sometimes,
that’s enough to still make something out of it.

Today’s mess. And that’s it. - MESSY E.
