Life Is Living

4 days ago (Edited)

Trees, bushes, roads, bridges, and a wide blue sky are all added to the fabric of life. The colors of life are somehow beautiful because of these natural elements. Otherwise, life is dull and grey. It's stuck and nowhere.

I am living my last year in university. Till my last day, I am a privileged one. Yes, I will be privileged as my parents would consider me a student. A student with no pressure of responsibilities. But, I am sensing the upcoming pressure now. I am trying to live in delusion, but every other day, I get a reality check.

After finishing the degree, I can sense that my parents would be demanding a job, salary, and responsibilities from me. They have invested so many years. They have been spending for the last twenty-one years, and now time is knocking at my door.

I am an escapist, but closing my eyes is not the solution. I have to accept the realities I am living in. Frankly saying, I am not doing what I am supposed to do. I am not doing hard work for which my parents are paying challans. I am becoming more careless about myself and my future. I am living in the present. For me, it's not bad, but brother, it's the materialistic world. This world analyzes you based on wealth and status.

So many examples are in front of me. It's a decisive time, and I should direct myself in the proper direction. Today, My friend failed an exam. I know it's just an exam but it’s more than that. It’s a qualifying test for the most competitive exam in the country. People are crazy over this particular competitive exam. To take a competitive exam of CSS, one has to qualify for MPT first. Unluckily, my friend failed this qualifying exam. Although he didn't prepare for it, his parents held so many hopes for him.

These hopes are taking a new form: a form of tears and regret. My friend is regretting on the days he wasted, and his father cried over his expectations of his son.

I am sitting in a corner and thinking over it. I am analyzing all this with my life. I am also supposed to take the same exam in the coming year. I am tense about it. I am receiving reality checks now.

All these scenarios are teaching me to be punctual and sincere with my life. I should not think of tomorrow but start my work now.
