When we are born into this world, we do not know one day from the next, we do not even know we are in the world. It takes months and years to know that as we grow. Before we know it, we are learning to walk, talk, and realize we are in the world. We began to learn right from wrong, and in the process of it all, our feelings about things starts to develop. We began to know what we do and don’t like about things and people. We are taken care of by those who loves us when we are growing up. They do the best that they can with the resources they have, and they work to pay bills, and to keep us fed, and so we can have clothes on our backs. They put us through school in order for us to get a good education to have a good future. It doesn’t always work out that way though. Along the way of life, things happen that causes us to change how we see things, and feel about things concerning life.
As we travel on in our life, we fall in love, get married, and start a family, but it doesn’t always work out that way either. Sometimes things prevent that from happening. It could be that a person isn’t ready to make that kind of commitment early in their life. It could be that a person just cannot see themselves being tied down, they could be a free spirit. Whatever the case maybe we all have our reasons for what we do or don’t do in our life.
As we grow older and our bodies start to feel how old we are, we often began to slow down, or speed up given how we have taken care of ourselves. We began to think about our life and all of the things we did and didn’t do when we had the chance to do them. We may or may not have regrets, but all in all we can say that we had a not so bad life. We can be proud of all of our accomplishments, and the mistakes that we had to learn from along the way.
When age sets in, and we are no longer young, we will then be old. We all will be old one day if we live long enough. Life is what you make it, because in the end of it all there is no turning back, just moving forward to a better place than this.
Death is sad, but it is also funny, because it makes you think about the kind of life you are living, it makes you want to forgive those who have wronged you and love them anyway. It is as if whatever happened in the past in one’s life doesn’t matter anymore. It gives you a new way to look at life and how precious itis because we only get one. We can enjoy our golden years just as we are enjoying our young years now.
Live life to the fullest and enjoy it along the way. c.2022
