people tend to overlook certain things or people in their life.
which very often leads to no fate moments, people who crossed your path once but just don’t hang out.
some not knowing what they want or need.
some whom wants everything, seek for everything in life.
some whom only cares about themselves like they are the only one living in this world.
some don’t know how to appreciate things until they’re gone.
gone, in others words, death.
death is a word which brings along hidden meaning with it.
loss, misery, pain, sorrow, angst.
all of us are very blessed in a way, in a place like singapore, where we do not have any natural disaster, do not have people who carry guns around and kill anyone as they like. we are truly lucky in a way. in a safe and strict society, we can even leave our door unlocked, let the kids play on their own, stay out till the wee hours, walking down the streets alone at wee hours and yet feel safe. but i guess it’s this kind of comfort level is what somehow leads us to take things for granted. We have everything lay down for us ever since we were born, well taken care of in every aspects. Which leads us to think that what we have now is what we deserved and it’s always not enough, or gradually, it’s just a habit or we were taught since young and grew up in such environment.
Appreciation is not only just a 12 letter word, it gives a gentle and warmth touch to everything. Knowing to appreciate life and people is such a simple thing yet many are not able to do it. Little things you do daily can actually brings smiles to people and certain times, things like smiling or even saying “thank you” to that person who give way to you. Everyone has an invisible sign hanging from their neck saying, “Make me feel important.” At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.Life is too short for anything. Learning to appreciate my everything and the people in my life. Because god knows when will i be taken away from this world, from the people i love. Life is unpredictable. Accidents happen. Shit happens. And who knows, i might meet up with an accident on the way home today. So, i just wanna say i love the people that are in my life, or at least the people in my phonebook. hahahahahaha.
