A Boring Night Turned Extraordinary

It was one of those boring nights where I'm tired of watching T.V, got no book to read, too fed up with texting , too early to fall asleep and yet so awake to do all that I can think about. Yes, it was one of those boring nights. I'm sitting in my bed, alone in my room, I look around, "Nothing to do" I thought. I don't have to study anymore because we just finish our prelim exam. I've got no project to pass. No book to read. My Mp4's broken, can't play my favorite tunes. I've texted everyone in my phonebook, no one seems to reply, maybe they're busy. They were lucky.

Some nights, I can't even think of where to start because I had to do so many things. But now, I'm complaining 'cause I've got nothing to do. Sound's crazy, right? Other's would love to have the time to relax like I do, but yet I'm still complaining. Why you ask? I don't like it when I'm doing anything (even though my parents always told me I'm lazy). I feel like I'm wasting so much time. That is instead of doing something worthy, I ended up feeling so useless.

That's when I realize, "Hey! Wait a minute, I can do something I like without feeling like I'm wasting my time." That's the time I grab a pen and paper on my desk, sit and start scribbling down my thoughts. I write. Write. Write. And it end up, I started my own novel, got a few articles, and even write all I'd ever wanted to be, my dreams, hopes, and fears. It turned out that writing did not only helped me use my precious times, it also made me discover myself a little more. It made me realize who I am inside that I didn't even know before.

I had never thought that one of those boring nights would turn out to be extraordinary. Extraordinary in a sense that it made me discover my passion in wrirting.

There's a lesson here somewhere, and I should know it. Ah! I know! Maybe it's doing things you always wanna do right now. As in now! In this very moment. Use this time to do all you can, because you'll never know, you'll discover something special and unique about yourself (like I did!).
And be ready to see boring and ordinary things turn out as fun and as extraordinary as you want it to be.
