Remember how you mentioned you were overblessed jean?maybe you're right...so many of us take things for granted...and that includes me...
Sometimes...things comes so easy...everything handed upon on a silver platter...that we fail to take a moment to pause...to understand...that these gifts handed to us..be it of a material good, or even the slightest gift of all like a hug or family who loves us....that someone somewhere in the world has no fortune of understanding...
Each days, there's so many utters which comprises of "I wish....If only....What if..."...failing to see what's around...
Some people lived their lives to the fullest....perfect in every way....the full package...of beauty,brains and kindness, yet they do not have the gift of life....the last breathe taken upon by some force of nature...
And here lies the other kind of people...who's had all they could have been grateful for in life...but looks upon it too easily...including me...
Of all my 22 years of life, I've never had to live a hard life.....I get everything I've ever wanted...and my parents..they never complained...from annual vacations abroad.....college life in an air cond room which cost more than the common rooms...to an education abroad in America...which more than likely not cost an arm each semester...
My mom was right when she said we have led too easy a life....while others more deserving children, bright and talented simply do not have the opportunities..not because they don't deserve it...but of circumstances not in their control....
So many what if runs through my head....of the many a times I've cause sorrow or dissapointment to my parents, the talking back, the tears....the selfishness...
Not only to family..but to friends to...how many a times has it been when I've been absolutely horrid to someone...
Or even to a mere stranger...or a passerby...or even a homeless beggar on the street...whom I could have handed a dollar to....for him to make a better day....
Like I've said...so many impossibles..of what ifs...
There's only one thing to do..that is to do them proud...it won't erase anything...but it would make up everything that did not go right...
People may say..."it's only human...people make mistakes"
Well here's what I say.....I may be only human...but I should have known better...life's too short...It's time to stop wallowing...and time to make a change...words carries no weight...so it's time to show a little action....for it's true...we'll never know how far does tomorrow goes...not only for ourself...but the ones we love....
So many deaths...each day....someone who could have brought a better future to the world...it pains me to see these lives taken away...It saddens me...but it has also brought me much realization and sense...in which I have to be a better person...I'm not saying I haven't been even a little good...but it doesn't hurt to try harder to be a better person...
Life and it's mysteries...of how the memories and words of a person lives on...with each word re-read seems so much more lively and surreal...a life re-lived with each tale,each entry...
And for those who has lost a loved one...my heart goes out to you....It may not be of any consolation...or bring back the happy memories..but I have learnt....that it's time to give back...to those of lesser fortunate....
