So since I started writing here, I have realised that come what may, as much as I'd like to, I am absolutely unable to write over the weekend( Ya,ya! Don't give me that look!Weekend is supposed to be free time and more time to do what you'd want,bla bla). But I have tried and it really really doesn't happen. In fact on certain weekends I am not even able to open my laptop ( I check my mails on my BBerry).So my point or rather my question here is, why am I not able to do something ,if I want to be able to do it so badly,that too on a time that is technically mine and free from the shackles of mundane working.Maybe cause you don't want to do it so badly or the priorities just keep getting mixed up. And then there is always this thought at the back of your mind about having no constraints about your timings.
This is how most of our youth also gets spent,thinking and procrastinating that we have all the time in the world to do whatever we wish to. That we will write that book, take that trip to that exotic island, complete that degree, find the love of your life eventually! The moment in the present is just for enjoying ,for taking it easy..for having the best time of our life.
And then one day those moments have gone...and life just seems like a long list of things to do which we have to complete...somewhere in those lists, what we really want to do,what our heart desires get lost and there is either no time or just too late to achieve those milestones and fulfill those desires.
I know there are various factors and reasons that some of those desires don't get fulfilled which are not always pertaining to the fact that we procrastinated or let time slip by us.These could be personal issues, circumstances where responsibilities and obligations weighed on us. But a lot of times the reason for these unfulfilled desires is the courage that we lacked, the self-doubt that we wallowed in, the if and buts that we kept plotting in our minds like x and zeros.And we all know there is no right answer for these short-comings except that we need to have the courage of conviction.
So even if it may be superbly late in your life, go after those deep desires that you keep buried in your heart.I know being responsible is the curse of aging and recklessness the bane of youth...somewhere striking a balance is the key to a fulfilled life.
I found my key by not overdoing anything whether the good or the bad...yeah the good too...
PS: Alains Morisette sang in "Ironic"-finding the man of your dreams and then meeting his beautiful wife...Life is like that...but then if he is the man of your dreams,he will not have a beautiful wife cause that would have to be you...:)
