A bubble at a time

If you sailed through Life without having tested unchartered waters or facing rough weather,you wouldn't have interesting stories to share or a life well "lived" to look back at? No really! Come to think of it, if He never told us what it means to fail,would we ever be relieved to pass? If you never tasted "bad" food would you know what finger licking food means? If you didn't have a failed realationship, you wouldn't know why true love felt so good!
Someone's theory of relativity definitely goes beyond physics.
So, I spent a whole working day,shedding tears, thinking of how I am all alone in this land of oppurtunities,without any of the people I love,around me,sleeping and eating my way through salty waters and self made darkness,and what may you guess I ended up with?
Well..Well..A day of missed lectures worth one tenth of my grade, a couple of pounds I could have definitely done without and one big wasted day in the first quarter of my Life...assuming I will live to be atleast a hundred!
There are always atleast two choices to everything in Life,more often than not,the more difficult one is the one we "ought" to make and most ordinary people, more often than not end up making the easier one,let's say for example, I could get up,go pull the blinds and let some sunshine into the room,but what I do is push a button and turn on the lamp right next to me...why? 'cause it's easier that way. Then again, I could get up cook a healthy, if not good meal,but I pick up a handy bag of chips...why? 'cause it's easier that way.
Making that one right choice,may be all the difference between your present uneasy,frustrated,claustrophobic state of mind or a rejuvenated,lighter if not happier state of mind and if nothing, it will surely leave you a few wrinkles less for when you are 40, now you want tha...don't you? I sure do.....

I have realised one other thing.....there is really no point thinking of 'what could have been', 'what is' is what you have,take it or take it (an exception to the two choices norm above!) Hey! what's the point of mooning over that really pretty dress that you just couldn'y buy or that great weather outside that you couldn't enjoy,or that really pshyco proff you just couldn't get by....forget it! stop living in has beens....

Most of us go through Life thinking I have to do 'this' now because five years down the line I want 'that'. Even before we have crossed one bridge, we are looking to cross another,in effect we forget to live in the moment,and life just seems to be a time bound track of hurdles.
I am the sort of person,who on the first day of vacation sobs over the fact that the countdown to it's end has begun, thereby killing the joy and purpose of the vacation, I make this big resoluions mid-year,to stop being a kill joy,but come next vacation,I am back to square one. And vacation is but a metaphor, i end up doing that to so many special moments in my Life.

In both cases my present is somewhere buried between what was and what will be....so what pray is the way out?
