Sieze the day

Life is short they say, you’ll never know how long you’ll live… so live each day as if its your last day. Grab every opportunity, take any chances you have, show the person you love how you feel, live and enjoy life to its fullest. But sometimes, we just cannot leaver everything and enjoy life. There are many things to be considered, too many responsibilities to fulfill, too many people to think of. I admit, I never lived my life to its fullest. But God how I wish I could. But I fear a lot of things. People around me placed a lot of standards in my life, that sometimes, I myself cannot meet those standards anymore. But I don’t have much choices either. There are just too many standards that I simply have to meet. Sometimes, I think what if I just abandoned all those standards that was required of me, and instead, live my life the way I wanted it to be. What if I just go out there everyday and do what I like to do with my life. Don’t have to think of anybody or anything at all. Will I be happy that way? Will it be not selfish of me to do such thing? Sometimes I just wish I could be somewhere or someplace that I can just sit and relax, to really appreciate the beautiful things around me. To have time to reflect on what I really want. To clear my mind of all worries and problems. Sometimes it takes us courage to be able to decide on what we really want in life. Courage to stand up for whatever decisions we made, whatever its consequences would be. How I wish I was courageous enough to really do what I want in life. To be free from all the expectations that the society and people around me demands out of me.
