One day you will think of all the things you never did and realize your life slipped away because you concentrated on fulfilling expectations that society put on your shoulders.
What would your main regret be?
Some would say they had never visited that amazing city where people offered to paint your portrait as a way of making a leaving. Others would say they didn’t have time to read those classic books because they had to work two jobs to provide for their families. A few would indicate they never fell in love because they were too busy to trust and devote their time to anyone.
The truth is that no one can do any of these things for you. You are the only one responsible for your happiness or for your sadness. Remember that happiness won’t come and knock on your door to ask permission to enter your house. Happiness is a crack in the fabric of time. The lucky ones will bask in its scent, the others will only chase chimeras. Only after you have set your priorities right and cleaned up the mess in your mind, you are ready to embrace the real value of kinship. It is then when the happiness of your loved ones will come forth, and their well-being will become the sole purpose of your life.
Happiness doesn’t wait around the corner for second chances. That’s why you must tell the person you care about how much you love her or him. Just do it today! You must call that old friend you hadn’t spoke in a while and chat about everything and anything important at all. You must spend time with your parents, if you still have them, and mostly feed your soul with the beauty of life.
Love,
