Some things are not meant to happen

Some things are not meant to happen. That simple.

The exercise that life serves us, to learn, grow, and accept things are granted though. I don't want to start this post with a rant, not to focus too much on that but the truth is that I have felt overwhelmed by some things that we are going through these days and weeks, which is why I have been a bit absent from Hive as well for the last few days. It is when things got even more intensified. Maybe time was just swallowed by a black hole. 😂

Anyway, I am here today, with a little rock that was almost swallowed by a similar black hole too. But just almost, if you are able to see this post and the video. I set my phone to a phone holder and started recording the video of painting Snoopy.

Between the layers of white paint that I was applying I always paused the recording. That is when I was drying the paint with a hair dryer. After having some 13 minutes of recording the phone notified me that I have less than 10% of battery. Ok, it usually works for some time after that notification. And it worked, but just for a too short time. After a few minutes, my phone died, without me saving the video. 😕

You see, some things are not meant to... wait, I have already said that in my opening sentence.
It is just that this was showing itself during the painting process too, as you will see I wanted the ear of Snoopy to be green, but in the end, I didn't like it. Then I painted it blue as well, as his eyes (ok, just one eye), lips and nose.

On the other side of the rock, I wrote the dedication to the person who will hopefully receive it and wanted to cover it with the varnish. Once again, I have to confirm that there are things that are not meant to happen. The letters got smudged, so I had to completely wipe them off, dry the white background and start over with the dedication.

Ah, the video story. I charged the phone to a certain % of battery so that I could switch it on and check if the video was saved automatically. Yes, yes, yes - it was there. The editing process started - the video footage was sped up and got some music and brightness. The saving moment didn't go well from the first, as there are things that are not meant to... 😂

Ok, this rock happened! :D
