What are we doing to our home?
* * *
Recently I keep thinking about things like that. What would be my biggest regret if my life ended one day? Will I regret the things that I've done? Or will I regret the things that I never did? The things that I gave up because at that point in time it seemed like The Impossible?
I guess a big part of me doesn't want to let go because of this reason. I don't want to spend the rest of my life regretting what I haven't done. I don't want to regret not fighting for what I want. What I love. I just can't seem to find the same sentiments in anyone else.
It's true that human beings always think that the bad things only happen to other people, not themselves. We procrastinate doing wonderful and meaningful things because we keep thinking that we still have time. Lots of time. But time and again people have lost their lives over accidents that were not predicted. I asked myself what I've done in these 16 years of my life and I realised that I've wasted all my time on meaningless things. I don't have time anymore; I'm growing older and time is running out, and I don't want to give up on things when I could have fought for them.
Perhaps it's not about being careful anymore, it's about braving the unknown and trying it out so you will know. So you won't regret not trying later. I just don't know how to communicate this to people.
I used to think that "follow your heart" is the most horrible advice ever but now I think it's pretty true. At times when you're plagued by so many problems and reasons not to, just follow your heart. Follow your feelings and maybe they will lead you to your little happy ending.
Because if I only had a day left, I would do everything for you
So why should the answer be different if I have decades before me to do so much more?
