The real reality

Every year, we pass our birthdays and know we were born that day. Every year, we also pass our death days and have absolutely no clue.

It’s really not fair that we all have to struggle through life, yet, no one will make it out alive. Being a living puppet to another man’s idea of “truth” cages people’s mindsets and before you know it, the best parts of their lives have passed.

I really dread having to do my things in someone else’s way when my way could have been better, simply because I’m scared to take risks. I want to take the risks and see the comebacks. Yes, experience is the best teacher and sometimes, the tuition is too high. But majority of the time, it’s worth it. Smart people learn from other people’s mistakes and even successes.

There are so many ways to live this life. I may not agree with yours and you may not agree with mine. No problem. But there’s going to be problem when you now try to impose your own perspective on me🙂

I got the starting quote from my friend’s WhatsApp post one time and I wrote it down in my journal. He passed away six months ago. Today’s his post-hummus birthday I decided to write this here to honor him. God rest your soul, Ahmed.
