Life's too short

This day has tremendously given me the realization that LIFE IS SHORT. Eh. You might think that's nothing but a minimal realization and everyone knows that. But no, most people just have their time taken for granted as if they can rewind everything and buy as much time as they want. In reality, you have no control of how longer your time will be. You just might be going off to work or school and suddenly out of nowhere, you got hit by a bus. Or your heart just decided to stop beating and that's it. That's just it.

After running errands this morning, I went to see the movie If I Stay with my friends. You know the story, a girl who has 98% chance of dying just miraculously woke up after her boyfriend told her to stay alive. Well, that's the physical line of the story. Adam never saw it coming that the next time he'll see the love of his life will be in her deathbed. It's as if everything happened in a snap. Just like that. Your life can change in a blink of an eye and there's nothing you can do about it. 

Just before my friend and I part ways this evening, she dropped a bomb on me that the guy I had a crush on 8 years ago died. And I screamed "WHAT?!" in the middle of a busy street. He was still so young. It's just sad.

As I walked home, I passed through 2 wakes in our street. 

When I got home, I watched the latest video of TheFineBros. And I knew from the title that it's gonna be loads of funny footages because it's tenenen... Elders React To Fifty Shades Of Grey! As much as I love YouTubers, my love for how elders in TheFineBros is just irreplaceable. As expected, it was funny. But at the end of the video, they paid tribute to Pamela, one of the elders, who recently just passed away. 

Just when I was getting full of these people dying before my eyes, I've stumbled upon this...

Last two weeks, I didn't know what has gotten in to me but I recorded some voice note in my phone and named it 'For When I Die'. 

Life's too short, people. Make the most out of it. Yea, I know it sounds sobrang gasgas na. But this realization brings me to another realization to just stop all the bullshit in my life. When you like for someone to know that you like them, tell them! You haven't said I love you to your parents that you love them? Psh. It's not that hard! Making up thoughts in your mind that leads you to nothing but misery and fear? Yea, time wasted is life wasted. 

There's just so many things that we don't do because we're afraid of judgments of people around you. You don't want to wear this because your boyfriend told you not to. Or you want to try to live out your dream to become a rockstar but you think that people might just make fun of you. You pretend that you hate One Direction but deep down, you love them more than you love your cats. 

Life's too short for keeping up with all the bullshit in your life. Do whatever makes you happy. Tell the ones you love that you love them. Wear whatever you want to wear. Ask whatever you want to ask. Live freely! Maybe there's someone in your class you badly want to kiss. Go for it, or else it'll forever hold your peace.
