Flip Over the Pillow

A couple weeks ago I was talking and walking to the club with a friend, and we came across the topic of "Flipping Over The Pillow".

You know like when you're trying to sleep... you're restless, you can't stop thinking, you try your side, your back, your front... but NOTHING seems to work? BUT THEN... you FLIP OVER YOUR PILLOW to the new FRESH, COOL side you've always been looking for... you rest your head back on it... and you PASS OUT!?? Oh glorious cooled down sided pillow.

After having this exhilarating conversation I started thinking about it in another way.

It reminded me of flipping over situations.

You're so sure you're right - your way or the highway - there can't POSSIBLY be any other side to the situation because you're SO RIGHT!

Well no. There are always two sides, and maybe if you were to just... FLIP OVER THAT PILLOW... you might just realize that the other side just makes so much more sense. You enjoy it, you learn to understand it, and soon enough you become an open minded person.

I for one, have always had a problem with this... What is this "OTHER SIDE" thing you're talking about? That's not possible! Why? ...Because I'm ALWAYS RIGHT! SO HA!

But really no... you're so wrong. Just try flipping that pillow every now and then... you may come to like it - and maybe even realize that that other side might be even more enjoyable than the other. You might just acknowledge it.

Embrace it, it's nothing to be afraid of. Just flip over the pillow.

I later moved onto it only taking up the bottom left corner. and now.... just simple and white - There are more sides than just one)
