We live by sayings like 'the best has yet to come' but we don't know if they are true. We are hopeful. We hope that life is kind to us. We hope that tomorrow is better than today. We hope that this isn't just it. Everyone craves adventure and excitement and sometimes when you live in a small town like this, it's not easy to find. But that hope for the future keeps people going and makes them believe that someday they will escape this provincial life.
All our efforts are aimed towards our future. We go to school to learn. We learn to do well in exams. We do well in exams to go to college. We go to college to get a good job and it goes on and on. And that's a lot of pressure. But sometimes we just need to sit back and stop. Life passes by so quickly but we don't even notice because we are too busy worrying about a test next week or looking forward to go out over the weekend. I don't know what the meaning of life is but I pretty certain it's not tomorrow. We need to learn to revel in the good, bad and ordinary moments and realise just how lucky you are.
Life is way too short to not too.
