"I'm trying to see things in perspective.
My dog wants a bite of my peanut butter chocolate chip bagel.
I know she cannot have this, because chocolate makes dogs very sick.
My do does not understand this.
She pouts and wraps herself around my leg like a scarf and purrs and tries to convince me to give her just a tiny bit.
When I do not give in, she eventually gives up and lays in the corner, under the piano, drooping and sad.
I hope the universe has my best interest in mind, like I have my dog's.
When I want something with my whole being, and the universe withholds it from me, I hope the universe thinks to herself:
Silly girl. She thinks this is what she wants, but she does not understand how it will hurt.
