"These things happen"

These things happen, whether I like it or not.

These things happen regardless.


Five days later, my laptop officially crashed and died.

I'm using my housemate's laptop now to check emails and stuff after going Internet-less and laptop-less for two days.

I've lost everything on my laptop.



Sigh. I think I went through all the phases when my laptop died: denial, rejection, anger, etc. etc. I've come to accept that it's happened and I can't do anything about it anyway.


There's a really cliche phrase that goes (I'm using it for want of a better idiom), "When life throws you lemons, make lemonade out of it."

I'm trying. I really am.
