As I grow up or in other word, grow older, I tend to realize what is important in life. What was important to me 2-3 years ago isn't as important as it seems to be now. My perspective, my outlook in life is different. I guess that is what we call being mature. Being mature doesn't mean that you'll missed out all the fun or that you have to sacrifice the fun,wild, and crazy side of yourself. No. You can still be fun and outgoing. Its just that you're more cautious and you evaluate things.

       I know I know it sounds boring but honestly it isn't though. I used to think back then when I was 16 I was matured enough. Thought i knew how the world works. Thought I can conquer the world. Man, how lame was that? LOL I still cringe every time I remembered it. Over the years life has taught me many important lessons. It teaches me to be patient (which is something that I lack of), it teaches me to deal with people and most of all it teaches me to value the person who loves and cherish you. In this world today, youngsters are so busy catching up with the latest gadgets and trends, and I'm not saying that its bad. No no no. I'm just saying that sometimes we focus on things too much that we don't realize that we're putting people aside. We pride ourselves with standards that we achieve when fact is, it doesn't really mean a thing if you don't have people to share it with. You see people like to wait. They'll say "I'll do it tomorrow" or "I'll give them a call later" and then you forget about it because we take things for granted especially when we are young.

Don't wait. Appreciate it while its there.

  Being mature, it makes you reevaluate your life. You start to appreciate people more instead of things. The decisions that you make are better and wiser because you'll think about how your choice will effect your future. But what I like most about being mature is that you don't have to take life in such a hurry anymore. Because things can be replace but people don't.  And even when you lose them like I have loss someone dear to me not so long ago, yes you'll definitely feel sad but apart from that you'll also feel happy not because they are gone but because you do not take them for granted and that you make an effort to be with them and spend your time with them. Because, all of that, is going to be only a memory left behind.

   Before I go, I wanna share a story with you guys. Well its not actually a story, its more of a fact or truth of what happened. A doctor told us that when a patient is admitted to the ward due to a small bedsore, at the beginning everyone is there to visit; close friends, friends, distant relatives. But when it start to smell, then your close relatives might come, your close friends might come, but not your friends nor your distant relatives. However, when maggots starts to appear from the wound of the bedsore ( meaning that its getting worse), the relatives and friends stop coming. The only ones that remains is the mother. Wife sometimes. Maybe sometimes. But the mothers will ALWAYS be there. So, be mature, prioritize the people in your life, and don't forget to have fun ;) daa~

People who loves you, THEY are your priority

Life begins...

Life begins when you leave your comfort zone

hey guys (:
its been a long time since I last updated my blog..sorry to say that I'm pretty lazy to do so. But anyway since I'm having my semester break, I decided to share my thoughts with you guys. I now know that there are a lot more people than I expected read my blog. I created this blog just for fun and out of curiosity.
 
    Anyway, back to main topic here. Life begins when you leave your comfort zone. Interesting isn't it? It never cross my mind before until lately. It sounds absurd at first but when you think about it there is truth in it. I mean really. It is so true. A comfort zone is like a safety cave.

   When you step out of your comfort zone you'll see that its a whole different world out there. When I was in secondary school I thought I own the world, thought I knew how people are, what life is all about. Hah yeah right. I was so wrong.

   Leaving that comfy zone sucks but you have to. It helps you grow as a person. It teaches you a lot of things. It teaches you how to deal with your own emotions, people, surroundings, difficult situations and a great deal more.

   Leaving it also marks the beginning of misery in your life. That is when you realize that hey, life isn't as easy as it used to be when I was 16 or 17. Well that is because when you are 16 or 17 you are still living with your parents and you don't have to think or worry about anything. everything is basically there for you. If there is anything lacking all we did was "Mom we're out of eggs" or "Dad I'm out of shampoo" and before you knew it a dozen eggs or a bottle of shampoo appeared. It's like magic. You don't have to do anything.

  I'm not saying that its going to be horrible ALL the time. No. But most of the time. When i first dumped my comfy zone I wasn't thrill. I almost freaked out. But hey, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and I survived. Hell yeah! And ever since then its been a bittersweet adventure for me. There are times though I have to admit where I was tempted to go back to my comfort zone because life is much more easier when you are in it compared to when you are not.

  But then when you look back at what you have accomplished and learned, you realized that its not that bad. Life is never easy. It is full of never ending problems and strings of complicated situation. However, i can tell you that it is worth it.

  So smile, relax and take it all in a stride people. Daa~
