Random Stuffs: its very late

its very late

it's very late and i'm sleepy and not entirely rational

but what is wrong with us/me/people these days?

why can't we say the things we want to say to the people we care most about?

why are we scared to be ourselves and take a chance?

we only live 80 odd years, right?

we're like a fifth of the way there and i know i don't want to grow old and regret anything.

so what's stopping us?

idk life

Life really should be embraced so that you get the best out of it that you can.; Sunday, August 14, 2011 at 2:44:00 AM GMT+10

There are so many lessons in life and to put it as Ms.Murphy does, it is a massive journey.

Also, for the telling people that we most care about, I said this to someone the other day and it is the best answer I can give.
Accept that getting hurt is a possibility and there are few things we can do to change that. If you get hurt, yes it is painful but after a while, pain gets less and it's the best thing you can do to just keep on living. Giving up is as effective as trying to do a crossword by eating bananas.; Sunday, August 14, 2011 at 10:37:00 AM GMT+10
AcionMan! said...: I have been through similar shit Liam. I can tell you now that 99% of the time a person will dwell on "why can't I simply take a chance" and "why can't I just say what I want", but when, just when something *feels* right, then all of that inner-deliberating is thrown at the window and NOT taking a chance is stupid option.

So what I'm saying is, you will KNOW when is the right time. You might not know when that is now, but by God it will be so painfully obvious to when it is. And then you will take that chance.

And hell, you can say you have no regrets (I tell myself that all the time) but in reality people who don't have regrets are in self-denial and never learn from their mistakes. If you have regrets then you can grow as a person. And be glad you have them, because next time you'll know what to do :); Sunday, August 14, 2011 at 1:02:00 PM GMT+10
Anonymous said...: But what if it never feels like the right time? It's like the age old question: is it better to hold it in and keep things the way they are or let it out and risk losing what you already have?

And as far as regrets go... I don't think you're in self-denial if you don't have them, I think it's more about coming to terms with what you do and knowing you did it for a reason. Like, I personally have no regrets about stuff I've done, I think I have more regrets about the stuff I haven't done, if that makes sense. And that just seems so lame, like why go through life wishing you had done more?

Can trials just be over plz; Sunday, August 14, 2011 at 2:37:00 PM GMT+10

tell us tell us tell us
c'mon

but yeah. I used to say that I didn't have regrets and that I was gonna not regret anything ever
it's a good way of thinking I think, we only live till we die right
cause like, in the end it's a net gain right? who cares if you have less/worse of something than someone else? you still have more than you started with, and you still have the capacity to improve.
that was my philosophy and it still kinda is, but then I did a bunch of stuff that I actually regret. Not one-time stuff, that shit aint too important, more making bad habits...

we also have a shitload of time ahead of us in our lives, I mean it seems like we've been alive for a long long time but it goes like a million times as much as it already has (true story)
and this next age for us is the one where we do crazier shit than we do now if everyone else who has gone and is going through it now says

so whatever it is you're regretting not doing now
just know that you will probably do it soon enough, because if you want it to happen, you will make it happen at a more opportune point (like maxim said)

oh yeah and bananas are brain food (...insofar as all food is brain food) so even if you don't directly solve the crossword by eating bananas you are still indirectly doing something towards it; Sunday, August 14, 2011 at 5:14:00 PM GMT+10

Its whatever mentality you keep really.

Just look forward and don't look back, cause every second you might be getting stronger and just don't know it- because you are you and unless you take a picture and look back on it you'll never know.
