As I age, I begin to realize life is truly short! I’m barely 29 and I have memories that are so far back yet feel so fresh. Examples are the tough times I assumed will never end and the good times that ended. Either way, I’ve come to realize it’s all in the past now and the only lasting thing is what I made of those moments.
I recall my 1st week in Secondary School (High School) I remember the anxiety and nervousness that came with it — when every feeling and every experience felt fresh. Now everything just seems to be on repeat and to do something new or have a fresh experience mostly costs money. Now, we are just stuck in routines.
I am beginning to share and understand some of the shortcomings of those that gave birth to us; their emotional, spiritual, and financial shortcomings. Perhaps they could have done better but even we aren’t doing better to be quite frank – We are scared to fall in love, scared to take a risk & many of us aren’t even capable of critical thinking (have you seen tweets that are total BS but have 17k likes?) we are selfish and truly only care about how we feel.
Although those before us didn’t figure out the world at least they had the nerve to explore it and the results of their explorations have become our questions and discrepancies of today.
I am beginning to realize that everything I know now is the result of the past and the researches of today and the only way to the future is to modify what is already known and create a model for the future.
As I Age, I begin to realize that although the saying is true that money isn’t everything, it is however the key to the door to many things, it is the balance to many human-created uncertainties. But your joy & happiness are results of what & who you surround yourself with.
I am beginning to realize that life defines and compartmentalizes itself for us, it somehow reveals our inadequacies and provides solutions too & all we truly need to do is to stay vigilant of such scenarios, learn with humility when these chances come our way, and grasp quickly the opportunities that come as a result of those tests.
As I age, I am becoming increasingly aware of the complexity of life yet the simplicity therein. A dozen people, A dozen personalities yet similar in ways.
No one is truly unique yet in our commonness lays distinctions.
