Wear sunscreen
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
- Mark Twain
Ahh. Something about beautiful quotes that makes me all misty-eyed. I guess if anything can sum up my blog, it would be this quote. I would like to think that, in my own way, I try to implore myself and others to do things differently. Of course, most people I know haven’t managed it yet, but I think we’re on the right track.
I guess no matter what life brings forth, one thing that will not diminish are the yearnings we have. I know I am rephrasing the grass being greener yonder crap. But it can’t always be greener further on right? After all, there are only so many shades of green one can make up before it just turns into a black void.
As impulsive as I am, I also falter. Sometimes what is true to the heart is not so great to the head. In my own weird way, I am rational and sensible; but I also manage to encompass idiocy and immaturity. I get easily drunk on life, music and literature, as I do on drinks. Isn’t life amazing? None of it has to make any sense at all. I mean why should it? And yet, at times it makes perfect sense.
It’s a vicious cycle, this life. And to paraphrase someone, “Happiness is only momentary. Wait awhile and it’ll come to pass”. Well the same stands for all feelings. And that’s probably how it should be. You should just have enough gumption to stick through it.
