helloandgoodbye

Is there anything worse than getting somewhere and not realizing how you got there? Even worse is only realizing what a good time you were having when it’s too late to still enjoy yourself.
Living in the present is a basic notion, but as with most simple things in this world, we find a way to make it complicated. There’s nothing complicated about learning to appreciate and notice your surroundings. There’s nothing complicated about being present.

Came across this article on 7 Mistakes You Might Want to Avoid Now So They Don't Become Lifelong Regrets

That's what I've been doing; count the little things in life.

Also I want to live a life without regrets in everything that I have done. I want to look back in 10 years time and tell myself that all these is worth it okay. In order to achieve this, can I say that one must learn to be a little selfish? At least to myself, 'Can I be selfish for once?' Truthfully I'm considered a good kid since, well. You know family matters so much to me. I understand that but now its time for me pursue the things that I want in life. Especially when it comes to following someone's else dream as mentioned in the article. I believed all of us have come to a moment where we are stranded at a crossroad. Whereby following our parents' dream may seem to be the most rightful thing to do. And because based on their life experiences, parents are supposedly to give the best advices.

I guess we need to be firm with our decisions because eventually we are the ones who lead our lives and not our parents. However, we have to also understand that our parents action in doing this is because they are afraid of letting our hands go. Letting go the hands that they have held for so long. Then I thought, recently I met a new colleague at my part time job, I was terribly stressed despite coming back from Phuket trip. Before I even realise what I was doing, I just poured out everything to him, to a stranger whom I have only met for 5 minutes. Most of my uni friends are intensely searching/ have landed themselves jobs whereas I do not want to dive into all these yet. Every time I met up with my uni friends there are obvious lines drawn between us, and they'll tease me "is your occupation still as broker status? thought you're doing well as a broker?"  If you're wondering why I used a fake broker status. Thats because I read this How To Answer The Question: What Are You Going To Do After You Graduate?

My MDIS mates feel more with me. Gosh I miss them a lot.

I think I really deserve a good break and not a short one. Many things went through my mind such as why a long break is being viewed so negatively in the society? Can't I do the things that I've neglected or missed out doing for the past 2 years while I've mugged superbly hard in school? Things that I cannot confide in my uni friends because our priorities are so so different. I received a really good encouragement from that colleague and suddenly everything becomes so clear to me.


I don't wanna see my regrets haunt me on my deathbed. What's your take?
