So i've been thinking about what's gonna happen next year. I've decided that no matter what happens, i'm gonna stay strong and press on. The world never ends just like that, there will always be doors flung open (even if they have to be slammed right in your face first and you've decided that you're never gonna trust doors again..). And the countless obstacles we face, we have to take them as blessings; for that's what makes us stronger each day. Its easy to say in words, but it takes a whole lot of courage to actually mean what we say and act as we preach. And today i just saw this line from the poster for twilight- If we could live forever, what would we live for? It sparks off a whole new meaning to life. We're living this life to the best of our ability all because we know we'll return to dust someday. That's probably what keeps us going every single day. If we could live forever, we'd never have any regrets or any emotions for that matter because life would give us not just second chances, but thirds, fourths and fifths as well. In fact, there'd be not much meaning to the things we do. We'll tell ourselves that we'll be filial "some other day", we'll love "some other day" because "some other day" will always be there. Its different when we know that time has a limit and so we cannot always put things off to "some other day" because that day might never come. Not to be pessimistic but rather a nudge to self to start treasuring every single thing, big or small, young or old. And that's why they call the present PRESENT, because its a gift we have to treasure.

Cheers, Gwen
