LIVE BY THE MOMENT, NOT BY THE SECOND
Being a writer is no joke, you must care about the deadlines, the content and sometimes even your formation of sentences. You are somehow pre-occupied with your own stuff, then in middle of a night out of no-where you jump into a world of self-actualization, where you are cursing yourself for not living a life you wanted as a kid. I’m not saying that “I wish I could have become a pilot because that’s all I use to think when I was a kid after watching a plane in the sky almost once a month”. The thought I want to convey from my Blog, or I could say “Dear Diary” that at some point in future every individual will come across a stage of self-doubt, in this stage either you’ll be doubting your life choices, or you’ll be assessing your future with a bottle of Bacardi in your hand and that there my friend is not self-doubt, buddy that’s Self-Harm.
I was in my youth when this thought process struck me like a lightning and my mind was blowing with random thoughts, my mind was running on a rocket-fuel with no happy thoughts at all and same as well, I was assessing my future with an old-monk in my hand. People out there reading this understand one thing “YOU ARE NOT SPECIAL” you are just same as all of us, you can also be overwhelmed with your situation but there’s always a catch in every situation and that is “How to overcome that situation”.
So, as I said in the beginning, I am a part-time writer, who loves to write blogs, short stories and stuff, the most amazing part of being a writer is that “I can write whatever I want and whenever I want, what’s going in my mind and heart. All those things which people fear to say or express I can write in a much better way, let me give you an example:
Like an empty shade on a crossroad, with a mind of thoughts
With a clear black land with multiple sunspots
I say oh tree, you big fat giant, tell me what makes you stand so tall?
I am a part of humanity with nothing to lose
I am a part of freedom!
I know who you are, I know what you feel, and I have felt the same!
Let it out in the open, like the hands I spread,
Let it out in the sky, as you said I am a big fat giant.
Just.
Let it out.
In this I am conveying that, my mind was like an empty shade from a tree standing on a crossroad and during my self-doubt phase that empty shade was filled with numerous amount of sunspots, and the shade is asking the wise tree, how you stand so tall and carefree and the response change my perspective towards the living.
So, how’s it, pretty amazing right. As I was telling you “I can write” and so should you. My grandpa used to say that “You can either live your life by the clock or by the second, but you cannot live it with moment you want to cherish”. So, overcoming that fear of self-doubt is not easy and it won’t be suppressed with a whiskey on the rocks, but I’m not it’s impossible. Everything you think with a power of self is possible and even achievable.
As master Oogway once said “Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift! That is why it is called a THE PRESENT”.
I am no special, you are not special, and all those people reading this are not special at all, but what special is the connection we all harness with ourselves or with everyone around us. I am writer I can convey my feeling my thoughts via writing, you all should convey yourself, express that desire in any way possible and then feel the rush of openness, the rush of freedom from an unknown bound of self-doubt or should I say self-actualization.
As I have said you my lovely people,
Express your Desire. Live by the moment not the second.
