I can't help but to wonder... where will one go after life on earth?
My daddy left us three years ago and his departure still haunts me during some days. Especially days like today, when I have certain issues in life that I cannot handle and I can't help but to wish that he is here to guide me.
Life is certainly too precious to waste away and every minute is to be valued and cherished. However, most people do not think that way. There are too much worries and burden in life that matters more... a lot more to think about... to care about... to worry about... to stress about...
What exactly are we living for?
I really can not understand life. However, I know I am now very afraid of attachment. When there are too heavy attachments in life, there will be too much expectations and too little to lose. That is when life becomes complicated. Is this the right direction to aim for in life?
Certain decisions are made purely for the sake of happiness and the aim of being loved til the end of our journey in this life. But that decision alone will not be enough because you are never alone. There will be people in your life that will have expectations. Everyone has their expectation of other people and not afraid of letting them know and there are many people happily agreed to meet those expectations.
The truth is... are we living our own expectations or are we living in other people's version of our life?
I am very confused indeed. Life is truly very confusing not because of life itself but the creatures that are behind it. It is a never ending journey of pleasing other people and meeting their expectations. Sometimes... the soul feels so tired that it rather give up than to continue being a slave to other people's needs.
Sometimes... will it be easier to just give up?
I wish life is simple...
I wish life is sweet...
but life has a way...
to make you retreat...
No matter how strong you may be...
There will always be...
a rock... a mountain in your way...
to make you stumble...
Life is...
What life is...
It's how you want it to be...
