Twenty-six
There is a lot of stress around us during these times. Most people complain about office problems, relationship issues, and the growing competition in various fields. People are so busy dealing with these issues that they don’t see the true beauty of life.
In fact, there is more to life than these things. And if we take a good look at life, we realize how beautiful it is.
People’s problems and concerns are real. The rich, the poor, the educated, the uneducated, the beautiful, and the less beautiful-all have their own set of problems. Life is not easy for anyone. However, we need to understand that this is how life is. If everything had been easy, we wouldn’t really appreciate it. Life is beautiful in its own way, and we must look for reasons to enjoy it and embrace its beauty amidst the issues we face.
There is a mad rush around us. In schools, offices, businesses, and even households, people are running around, chasing different things and trying to get things done as fast as possible without missing a train. The eagerness and restlessness to get to wherever they pass on to their children also, and it continues. . . Where exactly do we want to reach? And how will we feel when we get there? We need to slow down and ask ourselves these questions.
‘‘So while we still have time, let’s make the most of the learning opportunities. We will study hard if we want to reach our desired dreams. Another thing that can be the key or way to achieve dreams is the right decision in life. Every human being is endowed with the right mind and wisdom. Wisdom is used to make the right decisions in life. Decision -making in life can also lead a person to desired dreams. Everything that happens in a person’s life is mostly caused by decision making. So the decision-making is not a joke. Don’t make jokes about things and situations because the wrong decision can affect your future. . . We need to dream and aspire big.’’
Life is—indeed—a journey full of bitterness, sacrifice, grief, happiness and hope. We interpret life as a wheel that is sometimes on top, sometimes on the bottom. That wheel cannot travel on a road that is only gentle towards its destination. Because it is expected that we will experience an uneven road that will test our resilience. Like a wheel, our lives will also face various trials that we do not know what kind of road is waiting to be traversed. It may be mild at first, then become uneven later. there is only one thing we hold on to, we control our lives no matter what trials we face.
We must understand that life is a journey, not a destination. This means we have to go through it slowly and calmly, enjoying every moment and making the most of it rather than rushing through it.
We often ignore the small things in life and constantly pursue the bigger things that we believe will give us happiness. While achieving our big dreams and goals gives us pleasure, but the small things in life bring us true happiness. These are the things that bring a smile to our faces later in life. For example, parents constantly tell their children to behave well, study full school and sleep right on time.
They do all this to establish discipline in them. They want them to focus on their education so they can choose a good stream and come up with a rewarding career. They believe that all this will help them get a good life partner and also build a happy personal life. They have good intentions but are they really doing good to their children? In a way, not while they stole important moments of their lives that they could have spent more happily.
They said that the first twenty years of a person’s life are spent tossing their chapters and attempting to get good marks. Repeatedly told the children that they would enjoy it once they got a good job. When they get a good job, they are asked to work hard to get a good position in the company. Then tell them that they will enjoy their life after they reach a particular position.
When they reach a good position in the company, they need hard work to maintain the position. It is also time for them to plan a family and fulfill various responsibilities. They told them afterward that they could live peacefully and enjoy life when they retired. nor does anyone think that they will not be left with the same enthusiasm, energy, and enthusiasm to enjoy life when they enter that age.
Life happens now. So, we should enjoy it here and now and not wait to reach a certain position or stage of life to start living the way we want.
But then, it is a tough and a different thing for me.
It feels like I live in a place that is full of uncertainty.
‘‘You know? I don't know why I still hope for you–for us, Mae. I really thought you were different!’’
‘‘Love is. . . just dumb. I just can't accept that with so many people, you're still the one who cheated on me.’’
‘‘Did you just come to me so that someone could take your child?’’
‘‘Leave. I want you out of my life.’’
One moment, it feels like the world will dance with me. . . and yet, the next moment, it will remind me on how I don't deserve to be happy.
If only my parents are here. . . I guess I can.
