Life & things we take for granted

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

Hey there,

Guess it’s one of those days where you’ve got nothing to do but just still back and stare at life’s twist and turns. Just wanna share a few thing that i feel we tend to take for granted in life….For example, when was the last time "we" ever said “I love you” or “I really appreciate it” to someone close…most of the time, we believe that those stuffs these people do are things that are suppose to be done by them. But do we ever stop to think that they are actually going out of their way just to make our journey a smoother one. Half the time the answer seems to be NO….Either ignorance kicks in and we avoid encounters or we just know it but feel like ignoring it so that it would be less awkward. I for one fall under the latter category….. Although simple things like saying “i really appreciate that” seems a way off thing for me, I tend to avoid it as I’m afraid to be categories under the freak zone….

This has been going on for the past few years until I recently lost someone very close ( My Grandma)….Of all the time that I’ve been with this lady, she has nurtured me well and has always put my needs before hers, make me smile by trading her tears in return…..All this came in a package and I was enjoying the fruits until one day when i got the news that she had moved on….It’s was not like i have mistreated her in anyway but neither did i go off my way to please her…. Other things in life were always in the way and always seemed more important and the famous phrase "if not today, there’s always tomorrow" was applied. Reality slapped me in the face when i came to the acceptance that i was no longer given the chance to do the things I’ve always planned to do with this lady or say the things i would have wished to have said…..It doesn’t matter anymore as she was not there for me to express myself……If only i would have made the attempt to at least hold her hands and say nothing, it would have made me feel abit better, abit more less guilty. But the cruel fact is that i took things for Granted. Took it for granted that it’s ok not to do things there and there when it was suppose to be done….

This incident made me realize a few things in life….Stop taking things so lightly…Put yourself in the position of the other party and stop to think awhile..Things might make sense then….Parents, siblings, girlfriends, boyfriends, friend, anyone for that matter…..If you feel that they deserve more then what you are giving them rite now, then you are probably rite….Show them that you appreciate them and that their existence actually gives an impact to you existence…..Small gestures maybe carried to the grave…….Don’t waste the opportunity that you have now as you’re never sure of what the future holds…..Life evolves so fast that if i were to ask the name of your great grandfather, you might be stopped on your tracks there and there….That’s how fast life moves……Say the things you’ve always wanted to say and do the things that you’ve always wanted to do as if that there’s no tomorrow…..Push Ego’s aside and you’ll realize that life will be much more meaningful…..

This is an opportunity for me to thank and say i do appreciate the little things……To my parents, you guys rock and every inch of me is the way it is bcoz of you guys….My hats off to the 2 of you and i wanna say Thank You….. To my lovely sister, you’ll always be a pest that i would rather have…..Don’t change abit……My Gorgeous Girlfriend, you have been more then a life partner….. You have been a mother to me when i needed guidance, a true friend when life gets to me and have always been there when i needed a shoulder to cry on…..So baby i would like to say that i really appreciate you and thank you for being in my life………Last but not least to the coolest dude in my life…..my granddad……This bro would have moved mountains for me and i know that he knows that i loved him very very much…so on his part, i’m guilt free…..:)…Thanks old man for everything….

So to end this, i would like you guys to just think about this…. Don’t ignore things that are right in front of you….you might live to regret it….. All it takes is to just say Thank you, or I love you…. Trust me it’s worth the effort

Regards,

Vicky
