Gusto For Life!
Damn, time is passing by so quickly!
Snap!
You were with your friends in a club, downing poison, chatting and dancing away with some funny guy, some pretty girl. Eyes met. Someone special.
Flash ahead -
Both of you were once together. An item. But now you don't even talk to each other. Not anymore.
Flash again -
Just a quick glance, secretly dreaming of how things could have been different.
Flash, another one -
Stuck in traffic. Sirens blared as an insane asylum security van drove past a sea of still, slow-moving cars. "Who are the crazy ones now?" You thought to yourself. You reached home 2 hours later and melted into your bed, wasted.
Fast forward -
Wake up 7 years later. A sudden rush of familiar songs assaulted your senses. And flash. Back to that night again, still looking at each other. But the times have certainly changed.
You have loved, loved so much. You have held, held onto hands and onto so many things as if they come with handles. Sometimes ever so dearly. You don't even know why. Attachments, attachments, expectations.
Memories are the good things in life. The above was way romanticized and decidedly so. Just an example of quick snapshots. Snapshots of fleeting moments, kept for nostalgia's sake and maybe for how damn good it feels.
Problems, they come and go. No time is worth spent being stuck in the rut. Just relish and embrace goodness as they come. Never be bitter about shortcomings. The universe doesn't owe you a pat in the back.
We're built to withstand the strongest winds. We're trailblazers - take the road not taken. What's a normal life anyway? Live a life worth leaving and fight the good fight.
So wear your best socks, and have a gusto for life!
Written when I was an emo-kid, years and years ago. Thinking about it, I've been through many phases. I used to be crazy into programming in school (I don't even go to school that much because studying Macromedia's Flash Actionscript was way cooler). And then being abroad, my university life was all about girls and music and dance. And then I found a few books in the dormitory's toilet during my final year as a student, books that really opened up my eyes about the matrix that we're living in. Now I don't even think about girls anymore lol. Now I think about how to make things better for others and for myself. Can't do much about governments, but cryptocurrencies seem to be part of the solution. Funny how times change.
We are joining the "wearing best socks" movement. Karpe Diem!
Aww socks for the kitty too - nice one! Carpe diem!
Life is too short to be holding bad memory.
I still count it as good memory :D
Wow :D That was a great post ! Really enjoyed reading :)
Thanks :) Glad you enjoyed the emoness xD
Nice to see your emotional side, life is such. A good read!
Plenty of emoposts stored in my notepad.. but i'm not gonna let them out! Only this! Lol
Not bad! It looks like you had an unpleasant breakup and then went all emo.
Too many cringe-worthy writings when I was younger :P Haha glad you enjoyed the read :)
Hahaha! Love it.
Just one question: Why take a road at all?
I don't have a private jet :( or is there something new?
Make your own road, man. The quest begins where the forest is darkest and thickest.
Looking behind the Matrix, making things better for others and yourself AND thinking about girls is definitively possible... ;)
That'll be a story for another time :) But seriously too busy nowadays, don't even have time to go on dates! lol
That girl you were dancing with? What happend? How did the books in the toilet change your life? Why helping others now? Man, it feels like a begining of a good book and there is no more pages!! How you dare!
LOL, I'm sorry - maybe I'll expand a lil more in some post someday, plenty of interesting stories. Now I know what to write every once in a while. Thank you buddy :)
Great post and motivation @kevinwong
Thank you @tito-baron :)
Interesting, it is just very fascinating how young people are entrapped with government education and sexual life on the other hand...
It used to be the young people who bring change to the world, but they are not being dumbed down, and put in a stasis situation from where they can hardly escape until they are 40 but by then they are so indebted, that they will just give up.
The crypto revolution gives a chance for young people to escape the trance, and bring some long sought change to the world.
I've been quite a deviant since young, but trapped within the walls. Crypto is here and i've been trying to get more friends and family on board. It's especially difficult if they're already committed to so many things. Personally, I've been avoiding establishing commitment with others (other than business) ever since getting my first taste of corporate life!
I think this is IT, this is the big one, the crypto innovation is something of once in a 1000 years.
If we use this opportunity, we can become rich and succesful, but we must act quickly and decisively, because life wont reward us again with such a great opportunity.
Just look at STEEM, people earning 5000-10000$ weekly, where on Earth do people earn those sums elsewhere? It is truely a unique and exciting experience.
Young people should get on board, this is the new career opportunity to get started in life!
Not everyone, I'm certainly not earning those amounts haha, maybe just one of my lucky weeks! Well if it fails, back to corporate life!
