I was born lonely. My parents never brought me up with wonderful toys like Lego, Barbie, and other stuffs that every other kid would want to have. What I only have way back then were pen and a piece of paper. I was thought to write and read during those times when kids are having fun playing.
My mother would always say that one of the many ways to succeed is to get yourself out from the crowd. And it means that when others are doing something not relatively useful for self-improvement, means the best time for you to be productive. She was right. Her words are very much evident and profound to most of the successful people nowadays. And so I kept her words and believed in them.
When I have fully grown, I have set aside all the material stuffs in my head and focused on my direction. Luckily, I made everything right and had my parents so proud of me. Now that I've become successful in my chosen field, I realized that I've missed so many things in the passing of time. Although I didn't regret following my mom, at the back of my mind are so many childly things that I want to accomplish. I want to have fun, to travel and be in a place where everyone seems to be unconscious of the unlikely things happening around. I want to have all the gadgets in the world, iPad, iphone, a class-A dSLR camera, a luxury car, elegant dresses, and what not? I want a house and lot, (so weird to think of this investment at a young age of 22). I want to party all night and do some karaokes.
I want to do a lot of things and let loose. But when my mind is wandering to do all these stuffs, I've realized that I forgot to thank my parents for bringing up the person that I am right now. I can't be who I am without them, their kind words, selfless decisions and sacrifices, and hurting but useful reprimands. It wouldn't be me if I hadn't experienced my life with them. I can have all the gadgets in the world, all the partying and other crazy stuffs, but in the same way that my life and these tangible things are limited, so are theirs. So why not do a little bit of switching. Today is the perfect time to make it happen. So thinking about travelling is a way lot better if I'm travelling with them. Thinking about having a dSLR camera means capturing each savored moment with them. Dreaming of a car feels no good without them inside feeling all the comforts. Having a house and lot investment is useless if I'm not sharing it with them. Partying and karaokeing are more fun having them singing and dancing with me.
Now that I've made my ideals in life, the only thing that can stop me from doing this is TIME. Without enough of this, everything would be impossible. TIME is more important than anything else, so right now, I'm using this for the greater good.
