So what if

• the world is completely getting out of tune sometimes? I am listening to my music and enjoying every moment
  
• people are selfish and don't care a straw about the others? I am not like them
• there are times when your heart breaks and your world is coming down? You pick up the pieces and prop it up again
• I am growing up? Some part of me will always be a child
• I make mistakes? I am only human
• we have regrets? What matters is to outbalance them with happiness
• one day this world will come to an end? We'll make a new one
• there are days when you find it hard to breathe? The things I like are my oxygen
  
• your computer shuts down when you least expect it? You can always power it up and get back to where you started
• we have no time for us? We might find some for the others
• you're having a bad hair day? Others are having a bad day, and that's worse
• your car won't start? You can always walk and be thankful for that
• one day I wake up hating everything but me? Tomorrow I will love everything

Anyone willing to share some what ifs, feel free to get them out of your system!

New beginning

There is a quote by G. B. Shaw that I used to like and relate to:

"There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it."

I still like it, but I found somebody's stand on it, which completely floats my boat.

"As far as I'm concerned, Shaw was a punk. You know what? Tragedies happen. What are you gonna do? Give up? Quit? No. I realize now that when your heart breaks you gotta fight like hell and make sure you're still alive. Coz you are. And that pain you feel, it's life. The confusion and fear is there to remind you that somewhere out there there is something better and that something is worth fighting for."

and to round it off:

"The average life is full of near misses and absolute hits. Of great love and small disasters. It's made up of banana milkshakes, loft insulation and random shoes. It's dead ordinary and truly, truly amazing. What you've got to realize is, it's all here, now. So breathe deep and swallow it whole. Because take it from me: life just whizzes by, and then, all of a sudden, it's gone."

Sometimes, when there is just no silver lining....

You have to make your own!

Out of the billions of seconds of our existence, we take a couple out once in a while to ponder on the things we experience. How well did I do? Am I going too far? Is my life the way I imagined it? And after answering your questions, maybe it's time you did something about it. If you are miserable, deal with it or do something about it.

We are forever complaining about how our lives are disappointing and everything around us is so fucked up, yet we never do anything about it.
Honestly, life does not always make the choices for you, sometimes you have to make them yourself.

So, whenever you people feel down and you're in an "I hate-everything-but-me" mood, just remember that if you do not take the matter into your own hands and keep bitching about how this and that goes all wrong, nothing will ever change.

Drowning in your own misery has never got anyone anywhere (oh, it actually did, but I'm sure you don't wanna get there that soon)
