The day I wanted to eat melon bread while reading a book. I unexpectedly encountered a fly.

The pitch-black creature clung to the melon bread and squirmed. The fly eventually turned the meeting with the melon bread I had been looking forward to for days into a gray color.

That day, I chose sweet potato custard bread without even getting a chance to hold the melon bread in my hand.

​

'I don't like custard.'​

​

​

On my way home. Sadly, the melon bread I had been wanting to eat for days remained in my heart.

I had no choice but to prepare sweet potato custard bread as a snack to eat while reading. I didn't have high expectations because I don't particularly like custard. However, to my surprise, the moment the sweet potato custard bread went into my mouth, I forgot about melon bread and became completely absorbed in the new flavor.

Ironically, this trivial moment gave me an unexpected realization.

Sometimes, the things we yearn for may not be right for us, and accepting that can open the door to new opportunities.

I once wanted to learn A. My heart for A was no different from my heart for melon bread. I joined the B group to learn A. But I was in a difficult situation because it was completely different from what I expected. I found a fly in the B group.
​

Should I endure the fly for A or find another path?

I frowned at the fly and chose the sweet potato custard bread, which was naturally not the melon bread I wanted to eat in the first place. I couldn't buy the melon bread with a fly on it.

Ironically, I found a fly in the B group, just as I found a fly in the melon bread, but I was trying to hold on to the melon bread.

Just as I wouldn't choose the melon bread with the fly, I should have left the B group because I found a fly. But I kept thinking about leaving the B group.

I felt resentful because I had wasted both money and time, and I felt even more distressed because I was hurt by the fly.

But when I felt an unexpected sense of satisfaction eating the sweet potato custard bread, I realized that it was natural to see another satisfaction if I left the B group.

As I looked back over the events, writing down the issues I had been ignoring in my diary, I realized that I was opening the door to new opportunities myself. That day, I was not caught up in the opportunity cost, but looked at it coldly and clearly decided what to choose.

Moreover, the B group was affecting my daily life in an unexpected way while it was being operated. The red warning light had come on several times. There were also cases where the notice was changed, and this was sometimes confusing.

In the end, the confusion that interfered with my daily life made me reflect on the group itself and what I had wasted, and it helped me make a wise choice.

The lesson I learned from not choosing the melon bread with a fly was that sometimes what we want may not be the best for us, and turning to a new opportunity can lead to better results.

"When one door closes, another door opens."

The melon bread I first expected might have been delicious, but the joy that the new choice, sweet potato custard bread, gave me was much greater than I thought. Like this, what we wanted may not always be the best choice, and giving up quickly can sometimes give us unexpected happiness. This is perhaps the charm of life, unpredictable fun and beauty.
