Completing 27 years of existance on this planet, i now look back. I look back at the twists and turns that have led me to where i am now. I would have sailed till here, no doubts, but things could have been different. The sea could have been different. More calm, more rough. The obstacles could have been different and most of all, one less flutter of the butterfly wings and i could have been a whole different person. What a journey this has been and i sure have a long way to go. I dont really know how far, but i am determined to push it as much as i can.
There was a time when i always used to think that the best days of my life were over. School days were awesome. College was awesome. Childhoods end was way back. Im not going to get it back. Those were the best days and its over. Sigh...!!! Now what do i see when i look ahead? Not a clear picture, but right now, one thing i know for sure, The best days are yet to come. Wouldnt it be real easy if we knew exactly how our life would be few years down the line. I used to make that mistake of planning out my life way in advance. For those of you who do that, trust me, it dosent work that way. For example, my life right now is nowhere close to what i thought and planned it to be few years ago. So now i stopped planning. I have so much to look forward to. A great career. A lovely lady waiting to be my wife. Few kids. Maybe ill graduate, maybe i wont. Maybe ill get married, maybe i wont. Maybe ill have 2.5 perfect kids, maybe i wont. Maybe ill have a heart attack when im 50, maybe i wont. Maybe ill celebrate my 50th wedding anniversary, maybe i wont. Who knows. Im going to make the best use of each and every single minute that i have. Im going to live each day like its my last.
I have also learnt many valuable lessons in the past 27 years. Number one on my list would be that it is important to be nice to people on your way up the hill, because you will meet them again on your way down, and you will need them. People come and go through your life every single day. It is impossible to keep everyone and its not worth it. However there are a handful that you must never ever let go. Hold on to them and you will understand its value later. Another lesson i learnt is that people change, relationships change. Everything changes. In fact, the only thing constant is change its self. I learnt not to go looking for the person i once knew. What happened to the person you fell in love with? Its so different now. Stop searching for that, for you will never find it. It reminds me of the lines i once heard in a song, "if you cant be with the one you love, then love the one your with". How true. Love has to be recreated each and every single day. The love you created few years ago is different now and has a whole different meaning. Its not difficult. It is indeed possible and the best part is, it feels like falling in love with your partner every single day.
My health has not always been the best. I have never taken good care of myself. I think its high time i started thinking about it. I used to feel that it was my life and i had the right to live it the way i wanted to. Right now i feel that my life is not only mine. I am sharing it with someone else and what i do with my life, concerns them also. I need to eat healthy. I need to cut down on some habbits. I need to exercise and get in shape. I dont want to be panting like a dog as soon as i have climbed a single flight of stairs.
All said and done, life is good and will be. To and extend we create and design our own destiny. Crossing 27 is ok. In few years i would cross the psychological barrier of 30. Now that would be something to really write about.
Peace...........!!!
