Usually you go through life routinely. Once in a while, you experience something new and the memory stays there with you. After that, it's back to the same old routine.
You get sick of such a routine because you don't learn anything at all. Nevertheless you keep telling yourself "I'll break away from this cycle after the exams, or when I'm older. After all, I'm still young...".
Everyday will be a new day with new opportunities.
Has it ever occurred to us that, if we don't start believing that we can break away from our habits and the routine that we have got so used to now, we never will?
Time is a god-given gift that we have taken for granted; a gift which we often misuse, much to our own regrets. For now, youth does look like an eternal fountain but ina few years time it'll be gone, never to return again.
And then I had this sudden realisation that it's time I choose to live life happily. Happiness does seem to have a lot of psychological and physiological benefits which enhance a person's life.
Doesn't every adult say that youth is the best time of their lives?
It's really time I stopped being such an emo-kid (having disdain and discontentment for everything). It's natural to feel unhappiness but surely, feeling unhappy/miffed about every single detail in life every single day is way overboard. It just screams "emo, angsty teenager" all the way.
Don't you think that happy teenagers lead very fulfilling lives? Happy people inspire you to want to live better.
When I'm an adult, I do not wish to look back on my youth regretting about past moments and identifying opportunities to be happy which I have missed.
Perhaps the whole idea of associating "happiness" and "teenage years" appears to be a huge irony. I do seem, to a certain extent, to be psyching myself to be happy. But when you think again, you're the one who loses out when you choose to live miserably and see yourself in the lowliest manner.
I don't want to be an angsty teenager. It's not a right [to be one], it's a choice of how I perceive life to be. It is rather depressing to say that in all these mere 15 years of existence, nothing has caused me to experience true human emotions. I don't want to waste time being unhappy about how much of "a crap my life is". It's not a matter of practicality; rather it's a matter of being mature and wise enough to decide what's best.
As such, I should be happy. I want to be happy. And this, is a sudden epiphany.
And now, everyday is a new day.
