The craziest stuff happens at the most unexpected times. The most memorable moments happen when you don’t have a camera handy. You are most happy around those who you might not have known a few weeks ago. It’s kind of screwed up. Or not!
The things you want most in life are the farthest. And you don’t realize that what is near you is what’s best for you until something happens that makes you realize. But it’s too late by then.
At 13, you have dreams, hopes, ambitions, which you believe, will someday come true. You know exactly what you want, what you don’t and you still believe in a happily ever after, which deep down you know does not exist. You believe in everything that is impossible to even aspire about for an adult.
At 16, you’re lost. You have no idea what you’re gonna do with your life. You’re an adolescent with anger problems, mood swings, stress, trust issues, insecurity and obviously the dating problem. You are lost. And that’s only what you think. You don’t know your full potential yet. You only do what the world around you is doing. You’re not completely lost, you just haven’t found your way yet.
At 18, you’re finally of legal age. Mature, responsible, respectful, free. It’s amazing how much you’ve changed in the past two years. You’re not lost. No. You know what you want. Yes, some things are still unclear but you’ll learn overtime. After all you have your whole life ahead of you. Plenty of time to learn.
22 years old. You certainly have grown and that to into a beautiful human being. You are ready to show the world what you have to offer. You have ambition, you have decree, you are just, faithful and above all, you have a wonderful personality. And you still have a long way to go.
40. The big “four-o”. Life has been good to you. You did what you could do to help this world; you might even have a lot more to offer. But for now, right at this moment, all you want to think about is growing old and wrinkly with your life partner, spoiling your grandchildren and watching your children reach their full potentials. Yes, you have a full and promising life ahead of you.
But right now, you don’t need to worry about all of that. You’re only 15, turning 16 soon. What you need is to live life to the fullest until its too late. So, it’s kinda like this….
Today, go home from school, call up some of your closest friends or even those who aren’t that close to you, and make a plan. Meet up somewhere, throw a party, or go out. Just hang out and have fun.
Did you do it? Good. Now let yourself go. Indulge in some kind of fun. Take risks. You see, you’re too young to worry about stuff that does not concern you. Live. Because life is too short to be wasted while sitting around and pouting. This is your time. Do something you’ve wanted to do for a long time now. Make a bucket list. Do the craziest things you can think about. Do not feel insecure while doing them. Instead, have fun.
Now go change your life. Be who you want to be, not who you’re ‘supposed’ to be. Don’t exist. Live. Did you do that? Good. Now you’re truly who you were meant to be.
It’s kinda like that but you can do it. I know you can.
