I've been thinking, is it probably a good idea to tell people to live their lives as if its their last. This was the advice I gave a friend today and for some reason he saw light to what I said. The problem is, I was quite busy at the time he came confiding in me with what was bothering him so I just thought of what to tell him that would do two things
1.
get him outta my sight
2.
give him a whole new perspective about life.
not until i have said what I said did I realize that I might have also given him license to live however. This wasn't my initial intention but that isn't such a bad advice. The problem is how he read it.
You see life is probably not worth the who stress we put ourselves through most times. Life is alot of things but live is definitely not gonna last forever. We only got one life to live and it will be a big waste if we don't make the best use of every time spent here. when I say make use I mean enjoy it! Now I am probable gonna sound like that evil consciousness telling you to do mischievous things but here me out first before you crucify me.
Boy life isn't fair to anyone, sincerely I'm at the bar writing this right now and maybe alcohol added to the inspiration but trust me it sure does have a way of showing a mans true self. Sometimes I wish I didn't grow up this fast, I'm all grown up now and almost married but I have a list of things I would have loved to do but didn't have the time to do them and now I'm outgrowing those things and am just here regretting decisions I never was courageous enough to make. Have I lived a fulfilled life? ermm lemme think, NO am I happy? well do I have a choice?
Don't like your life like mine with regrets of things you really wanted to do and never had a chance to. Its not too late to start making those decisions and giving your life an enjoyable meaning. You cannot get rid of all the problems that life's gonna toss at you but you can choose to be happy. Happiness is a choice, its left to you what to choose. But for me, I choose happiness. Choose wisely, your life depends on it. lol.
now let me go back to my bottle of beer, it was nice to be able to share that with you guys.
thanks for reading
