Done are we with the National Election frenzy. Results are out. And as far as I am concerned, what is done…is inevitable done. Some are still in shock, some overjoyed and some…are preparing for an Emergency. As for me, I didn’t specifically fit in a specific slot on Saturday to camp out in the living room with coffee and junk food (it would have been so…un-hip of me), but thinking back, I regret not of the decision I made, I have the right to see what the future would bring.
700, 000 newly registered voters this elections and wow! That really brought a change. Didn’t it? See…change…the word isn’t all that bad. To be different, to vary. Hmm…in this context, a more appropriate word would be: to exchange. By 5 a.m., the checklist given to all us avid readers of the Star was partially complete. In order to put our minds to rest, we had to do a lil’ math to figure out the slight ‘difference’ which brought extravagant change. See…its that word again, change!
It was weird to have tucked myself to bed with all these weird political dialogues still playing in my head, “government, opposition…ink….argh!” But then Sheryl Crow came to the rescue, when she sang in rather chirpy, motivating manner. “A change would do you good…” And there it is folks…a change.
For good or bad, let’s just weigh it by instilling a proper mentality. Let’s be open to it. Let’s accept it…no, I didn’t mean the ‘come what may’ attitude, but let us be rational about this. Some may quickly claim so and so will lead to this and that. Yes…yes….It’s human nature to get all paranoid.
But I believe as amazed we are of the outcomes of the recent elections, hold your horses! The fun ain’t over yet. So let us observe…and we’ll bring about more changes. How’s that for a start?
