The cruel comedy of life’s little stings!

I stopped by my favourite coffee shop today, eager to indulge a craving, only to find they’d just run out of fish and chips. And as if fate wanted to twist the knife, the waitress made a show of parading the last order past me, delivering it to its rightful owner with a smirk and a taunt: “Look, Mason! Look at what you can’t have.”

I felt that in my soul – because sometimes, it’s not just about the fish and chips. Sometimes, life itself plays the role of that teasing waitress, dangling what I want just out of reach.

At this point, I should probably just ask if disappointment comes with a loyalty rewards program – because I seem to be racking up points.
