Every Moment Matters

I was very pissed some hours ago and I told my mom about it. After she heard the reason behind why I was feeling that way, she asked “since when did you get so much energy to get pissed?”. Obviously, she realized it wasn’t really an issue that deserved my attention. It got me thinking for some minutes and then I realized I was actually investing so much energy into getting angry. Let me tell you why I was pissed. I found out that someone did something really childish.

I mean, if it was just anyone, I wouldn’t have even cared but this was someone that carried herself as a mature and wise person. This really makes me realize maturity truly has nothing to do with age. I’ve always knew that response is everything so when I heard the news, I tried my best to be calm about. The only action I took was to inform my mom about the situation and that was when she brought my mind to something. Before I even talk about what I have in mind, I was randomly telling her about how every good thing I did for that person came back biting me.

I kept on ranting on how it has taught me a lot lessons so I have no intentions of “doing good” to people. She then asked me, “so if your child drowns in a water body, you won’t ever drink water?”. Before this question, I was already thinking about the first question she asked up there. The one thing I deduced from it that, “we move”. I understand that people are someway and you can never trust humans but then it’s really bad to transfer your experience with one person onto another person.

You’re just wasting time instead of living in the moment and with what I know, we don’t have that much time to waste. If we calculate what happened to me tonight, it means I spent about 40 minutes getting pissed about something I can’t do anything about. Mind you, I’m not even getting a minute of that 40 minutes back. I could have done better things with that time. I mean, it literally takes a minute to create memories.

I know a lot of things happen day in and day out, and sometimes, it very easy to follow your emotions to do the wrong things, be bitter about issues, disconnect from people. In all of your endeavors just remember that you’re here for a while. It’s just like every movie, you’re the main character and we all know that no matter how boring or interesting a movie is, one constant thing is that it will surely come to an end. The scary part of this movie is that we have no idea when exactly it’s going to end.

The best thing you could do for yourself as an individual is to live in the moment, you’re the main character of your life. Give people a cool show but whiles doing it, make sure you’re happy.
