I dunno where to start. Okay, lemme start by asking this question.
Ever found yourself alone in a dark cold night on your bed, staring out the window to the sky and the stars above, trapped between today and tomorrow, knowing that you can't go back in time and don't know what the coming days are gonna be like?
Yes. Its that moment of the night when I get questioned by myself Who am I? Sorry, not who, rather what am I?
An average Human being has a life span of say 75-80 years. Some manage to cross 100, while some of the unfortunates can't even enjoy the youth. But in the end, where do we all go? What about everything you achieved, or fail to achieve, the efforts, your pride.. Where does it all go? It just vanishes, right?
As hard it is to digest, but we all know for a fact that in the end we all, whether it be some beggar from a street, or the President of The United States of America, are either going to burn to ashes, or be dug so deep in the ground that all that remains is a skeleton, a few bones.
Now, why am I writing all this? Obviously, to clear my head basically, but also to see if I can get the answer myself to the question that every night haunts me with.
I have read, and even heard many of them say "Live in the moments. Don't cry over past as you cannot change it and don't worry about the future as you cannot control it."
But honestly, how many of you can live that way ? I guess one in a thousand! or even lesser probability. Even I cannot live that way. No matter how hard I try to live in the present, but here's the fact that tackles me : Every past was a present, and every future is gonna be a present. Then which present am I supposed to live or be prepared for?
I remembered, what I read once, Life is hard, and as they say, there's no life without struggles. And that is when it hit me. Probably the solution I'm trying to find.
"Its not the destination, but the journey that matters."
Your life - Own it, Live it, Love it. Don't be ashamed of who you are. You already know that in the end, you too have to go, just like everybody else. But you have a lot of time for that, and your journey will decide whether people will come with flowers to your gravestone, or the tree alone will shed itself. Until then, I hope I keep on writing and inspiring and receiving your love to make the "journey" as wonderful as it can be. :)
