Low Battery

~ Gottfried

When life gives you lemons, construct a crude electrochemical battery. If overthinking situations burned calories, I’d be dead. Worrying will be the death of every one of us if we don’t snap out of it. It’s bigger than you, just chill and see what karma comes up with.

I hate leaving home when I don’t have a full battery. The only way to recharge your battery is to eat. Yawning is your body’s way of saying you only have 20% battery remaining. Batteries are the most dramatic object. Other things stop working or they break. But Batteries…they die.

Today I tried to do some work manually. I sat down on the couch and I’m watching TV. It’s hard but it’s necessary. Before I could get the TV to come on, I had a bit of a challenge with the remote. So I hit it hard twice with my palm and it suddenly started to work. So batteries respond to violence?

Phone batteries last longer than relationships these days. I don’t always lose my phone, but when I do, it’s on silent and 5% battery life. Just the perfect conditions necessary for me to begin my futile search. I once bought my kids a set of batteries for Christmas with a note on it saying, toys not included.

Reading allows me to recharge my batteries. I like my bed more than I like most people. Actually, I don’t like people, I tolerate them. My life is a constant struggle of wanting to go out and have fun with people, while simultaneously trying to avoid all human contact.

Being an introvert doesn’t mean you “hate doing all things.” I came. I saw. I had anxiety, so I left. It just means that your social battery drains very quickly. My mobile phone battery dies all the time because all the messages come straight to me. If only someone could intercept a few of them?

Marriage has no guarantees. If that is what you’re looking for, go live with a car battery. Here’s a parenting hack for you when punishing your kids. Don’t take away their electronics. Just take their charger and watch the fear in their eyes as they use it less and less while the battery slowly dies. You’re welcome!

Brb…need to go plug my phone

  2. Your parenting skills amaze me. I parented before the age of cell phones and chargers. I’ll have to remember that tip the next time I have the grandkids.

Sending best wishes to the future kids and hoping for a happy remarriage ceremony (if possible.

  4. Don’t blame yourself. Karma is in nobody’s hands. Sometimes good people have to go through bad karma just so that they don’t stop being good. You can only be good to others, if you are good to yourself 🥇 St…you deserve to be 😊 happy, everybody does. Growth is a process …enjoy it…the final destination only matters because the journey is what makes it worth it. Think why otherwise would Robert Frost to walk on the road less travelled. Ofcourse it leads to a more beautiful and meaningful destination viz directly proportional to the difficulty level testing the endurance ( a constant demad of love .
