When I was in pain the other day, I thought to myself, wait. I am but in my twenties.
Assuming a normal life span, I would have decades more to go-- and it feels so long...
With the current spade of suicide cases, it made me wonder... how fragile this all is.
Some people are fighting for a higher rank in the corporate ladder
some people are fighting for fame and glory.
Others.. some- they are just fighting to save their lives and sanity.
We all have different lives to live. I guess it is important to keep ourselves in check. It is important to aim high, but we cannot forget to live , should not let life pass us by. We cannot forget to be playful and have fun once in awhile. We cannot allow ourselves to just be passerbys in everybody's life and not reach out to impact or touch anybody. We should live significantly such that at the very least, in our presence here we have helped somebody, provided warmth to somebody, brightened up the hearts of somebody.
We seem to forget that perhaps that is the meaning of our existence to help everybody else here get by.
So note to self: While chasing, do not forget to stop and smell the flowers, do not forget to admire the scenery, do not let life pass you by as you have done for so many years. Do not, at an older age, ask why our younger self did not live, breathe and appreciate a little more.
Find beauty. Find beauty in the breakdown. Find beauty in the regeneration.
