I have been asleep for too long..
2:17 PM
Time passes by without much attention or notice.Hours turn to days, weeks, and months.It is now the first of February.Unknowingly, i have entered the second month of this new year, which is, as yet, unmarked by any spectacular events. Unblemished. Un-noticed. Grousing over employment woes. Caught up with internal struggles. When the people surrounding me are already getting on. Starting a new phase. And i am stuck at the infant stage.I was inspired to write this from a newspaper article. That we are asleep in our lives. That 30 years may pass us by and we have yet to do the things we have always wanted, giving excuses that it is not the time for it, im not prepared, my situation sucks, etc. Life is a terrible thing to waste. And it is ours for the keeping. We do what we will with it. It is our very own. Treasure it well. We have forgotten that events influence us only when we let them. We are the ones who chose to be constrained by our current conditions. Like a unsupportive, unloving, family. Like a shoddy school. QuotableQuotes:"If it is to be, it is up to me" and no one else."What lies behind you, and what lies before you, is never as important as what lies within you"Change is swirling around me. I have been fermenting for too long. It is time to do something about it.Carpe diem
