Hidden fears

Whenever I get the news of a known person being no more, I feel a deep hidden fear surfacing before my eyes, what if I'm breathing today and tomorrow I'd be no more, what if I go away, along with all my plans, all my dreams? We never know when a person is going to leave. It's scary, as if our time is running out of our hand, like the sand between our palms. I have this strange fear, what if I can't live my dreams? Somedays, I feel like I'm wasting my days and all my days are draining out from my life's calendar, I feel as if I know for sure, no one would miss me, except a handful of people, so I try to live my life for me, for them. Other days, I feel like I've so much time left and I find me asking myself -  if I've enough time. It confuses me, I often wonder, looking up, at the sky, while it is consumed by the black, I stare back at the moon, in the contrasting emptiness. I wonder and conclude, it's all I've got, It's all we've got, why care about the things we've no control upon.
If I've learnt something from this crippling fear is that, it is always going to be this way, there is nothing we can do, so there is nothing to worry about too. Instead of thinking about what if we run out of time and can't do everything we wish for, we should always live our lives in the exact place we are, not in past or in future.  We should enjoy the scenery before us, live everyday, live while we can. Stop overthinking, taking the guilt of things we never did. Never regret anything and move on from the places and people who didn't understand our value. Enjoy the exact moment we are in and everything else falls in place.
