just a few years back, i used to hate living, lived because of friends and often wondered about the purpose of life.
but today, i realised how much i would love life to be. i live for no one else on earth, i just live for myself.
erm, this is no emo post here.
i just wanted to let people know how much i enjoy living and its the greatest gift given. being able to live in such a marvelous world. we are often blinded by our ever hectic urban life and didn't have much chance to just slow down and take a look at things around us. and when i really do try slowing the pace down, i discovered the many things that are there waiting for me to lay my hands on, for me to experience. the world is big, and i think we seriously are too enclosed in our lovely nests that we missed out so much.
often, i listed out on my schedules about the things i want to do, readings, volunteering, sketching, walking blahblah..and it goes on and on and on and on and never ending..
there simply isn't enough time and with our frantic lifestyle, i found that i couldn't achieve much of the stuff that i've listed. so i just thought, i have to stop wasting too much unnecessary time as much as possible in order to live a fulfilled life.
i just read an article on times magazine about surviving disasters, and many of those victims actually stopped moving at the time it happened. but whyyyy? i thought if it's me i would struggle and find all sorts of ways to stay alive. there are still many things for me to uncover.
life is not just about family, friends and relationships. there are much more. and the first thing to do is to discover your own self. life is about moments of joy.
