!shatter!

here’s a funny story, today my phone screen cracked. we were climbing up the stairs to level four and in my arms were my file, my graphing calculator, my pencil case, and my phone. but then i stumbled and watched helplessly as my phone fell out of my arms, slip through a gap in the railing, down, down, down. it landed on the ground floor with a resounding boom. hahaha i swear i saw my life flash before my eyes.

there was no way my phone would survive a three-storey drop. my friends and i raced downstairs. someone grabbed my phone off the floor and i held my breath: the moment of truth!!! he tapped on the screen, and it lit up.

“dude, you’re so lucky.”

i am!!! i’m typing this on my phone right now; the screen is a little bit wonky but everything is still completely functional. what are the chances? i had a flimsy phone case and no screen protector. my phone should have !shattered! into pieces (okie i know that’s not how it works, but ahhh yes i really did expect worse)

i constantly worry that improbably terrible things will happen. maybe i’ve forgotten that improbably good things can happen too.
