BUMP in the HEAD.

UGH!


Technically speaking, it is the meeting of a metallic, hardly malleable material and the external portion of one's cranium. What a perfect match!


That is what one gets when she has been going happy-go-lucky too much, carelessly through life's days, nonchalantly minding its call for candor and vitality.


A bump in the head is like a wake-up call. It forces you to forget the current, or the recent past, gets you confused with the present and eventually leads you to start anew for the future.


Like a UFO landing on your precious, landing-pad-like forehead, a bump in the head causes such a big impact that one starts, though struggling, to move with the realities that she has been elusive to when she began living in her dreams and got addicted to it in no time. The tremor would last long - the searing pain at the time of impact and shortly thereafter is somehow immortalized by some sort of unevenness and discoloration.


Having made its mark, the bump in the head serves as a reminder for one to accept the ugly truth, move on even with a mindless, broken heart and eventually lead a life devoid of assumptions, and pretensions.
