💫Eighteenth Pleasure💫
-------------------------------------------------
They say you only live once.
What first started as a hipster catchphrase that spread among teens, having pushed them to do whatever their parents weren't letting them. Most of the people take this as an excuse, that they are free to do whatever they want in their lives. They want to live just for a while danger even though that means they'll be closer to death, to them the adrenaline rush they'll receive will be worth it.
To get a taste of the freedom of the youthful is a teen's true intention. This type of liberty gets different as time passes and is applied to more people. Many adults think that our freedom is a guilty pleasure that they never had. And as they see us drowning ourselves in this pleasure they think we abuse it thus being careless in our life choices.
It's a way of taking care of us, as well as a way to express some of their playful jealousy towards this freedom of ours indirectly. But from my point of view, I believe that the life of a teenager can be compelling. We understand and reason rationally but not like grownups, however, we're still naive and defenseless to other factors.
But to me, this stands out as an entirely different thing.
I've passed a nice chunk of my lifespan. You could say that almost half of my prime has passed. I was already in the middle of enjoying this immense beautiful freedom. In this life, everything can be both cruel, yet fair to us all. So in this limited lifetime what would be your last actions and words?
It would probably be to live everything with no regrets.
Wanting to experience everything, not child-like, but in a more mature way, as in extending my horizons. I want to touch and grasp outer concepts of the world we live in right now. Even a whole new world totally unknown would be perhaps suitable.
Then what's really stopping from achieving our goals and dreams? It's a dark sea of vivid fears. But with that, there's also the fear of being lost there. The only thing that stops you from jumping. Demons of all kinds of negativity were roaring with different emotions that would devour us as soon as we come in contact.
But we needed to be strong right.
You only live once. Try to live that life in the best way possible while enjoying yourself. With newfound determination, you're inching closer to the diving board, ready to take your challenge. Near its edge, your feet cling to the end as your heart is about to jump out of your ribcage from the scary sensations it's going through.
It sounded easier in your mind as it lunging at me trying to push my body, only for the latter to disobey it and pull back. It is and sounds scary, but sometimes it's better to swallow that huge lump down by acting confident.
So, you breathe in order to calm your heartbeat and yourself down. With closed ones and a panic that's been under control, you're ready to do. A step into thin air while gravity pulls your strings near this sea.
You jumped.
You're sinking deeper and deeper until you're reaching the end. Your last minutes before losing yourself your last oxygen bubbles go up. That's it you're drowning and maybe your fear took over again.
No, open your eyes and look again.
After you've fought with everything, you'll be born anew. You faced your fears as well as yourself while having submerged victorious.
