time.
it always seem to play tricks on you, in fact, im disgusted by how it can affect the lives of many, and indeed so many that it seems that there are none who are not troubled by it. although it might seem superficial to some, it can be a case of life and death for others. some wish to turn back time, while others hope time could jus remain stationary momentarily, but all that doesnt work, at all.
looking back, i can only conclude how fast time flies. in the blink of an eye, everything could jus change before you know it. newfound friendships, strained relationships, health, aspirations and much more. its truly appalling to know that exams begin in 6 days. SIX. how fast can that get when yesterday seems like the day i stepped into jc. nonetheless, as what people always do, i reflected upon the past months, what have i done and not, right or wrong. its a disease, a joke that from the start only makes matters worse. i've thought this over in the shower, and realised that how much thinking wouldnt help unless something is done, if not, planning ahead for the future, that is unforseeable, unpredictable and uncertain, is a much better option.
gratitude.
this is seen everywhere, in every single domain, every single sector of society. you can find it right from your very homes, the friends around you and right down to where the gangs are found. there is a significant difference between showing gratitude and receiving it. its a form of acknowledgement, a recognition that you exist, a sign that you belong. much need not be expressed to show appreciation. for me, it is only fair to display that in life, and that applies to everyone else as well. do not only live for yourselves and spare thoughts for others. isnt it much more meaningful?
honestly speaking, why am i working so hard, jus for exemplary results? fame? recognition? no. that is when 'gratitude' comes into the picture. im doing it not for myself, but primarily for my parents, who worked so hard jus to raise me up and it pains me, jus seeing the lines characteristic of age appear on their benevolent countenances, or when white hair starts sprouting from their scalps. i strive to achieve something in life, for myself, and of course them. its important, to me.
mom. dad. love you lots
