joie de vivre

posted : July 21, 2007

Ever wondered how someone’s words could make changes to your life. Sometimes words we utter knowingly or unknowingly at times at others take its effects, sometimes even adverse effects. The very situation that we caught in, in that moment may be a tuning point to someone’s life. Like for instance, suppose one leads a carefree life all the way, from party, to drinks, to everything and then someone utters something like ‘You spend all your energy into having fun, are you really?’ Yeah. Just a bang and that is the very turning point for the person. Amazing isn’t it. The words that we utter in a minute or so can change the life of another knowingly or unknowingly. So the next time you wanna open your mouth and pass a sarcastic or snide remark you better think twice boy!

At this point of my life, when things seem to be taking a turn, I have come to realise that life is indeed is very fragile and ought to be treasured. Really treasured and savored for we never know how long more it’s gonna last. I mean people always say life is uncertain and everything but trust me you will never know till you go through an incident or have just a slight brush with it. The people whom you forged relationships with, the friends that came and went like a passing cloud, the love that came and faded away, the family you built that seems distant over time, the joys and tears you shared with your peers, everything.. People always hope for good things to last forever, just like all the numerous friendships that were forged over the years, that over time seemed to drift away and break apart. I guess life’s always volatile, fragile, unpredictable so you just gotta hold on to the next best thing around-memories. The memories that were created during the toughest, lowest moments as well as the happiest moments. All of which carries meaning such that it evokes a special feeling within, no matter how many years down the road.
