on a more serious side note..

A common message: LIFE IS SHORT. Yeah yeah, we all know that. We’ve heard it a milion times already. Every time something bad happens, it just reinforces that idea and we all think….We should cherish the people we love while we can or it’ll be too late. We should do the things we love while we still have time. We should focus on being happy and drop whatever that bothers us.

But can we? Is it really that easy?

I love the idea of living everyday like it’s my last. But could I really do that? Just because my heart tells me one thing doesn’t mean my brain will be compliant..doesn’t mean I can forget the past or forego the future…doesn’t mean I will be happy when I wake up still very much alive the next morning.

I find many things puzzling. Sometimes I feel like a detective…trying to figure out the world and its people. But it ain’t easy….

Left, right and centre, I’m being told what to do. Who should I listen to? My confused self? The pearls of wisdom of the experienced? The just-do-it advice of the happy-go-lucky? The rationality of the practical?

Didn’t I just say..It ain’t easy buddy..
