Today I had a moment of silence reviewing back on my life. I was wondering that… How many people are proud of their choices and how many people have actually regretted their choices? When we come across a fork, or a junction, how to we face them? Do we break and make sure there is no car; before we cross them? Or, we just insanely step on fuel paddle to get the car going faster?
For me, I am not sure which I have done. To be honest, I was a reckless driver when I was a teenager. To me, it was just fun to step on fuel paddle and get me going faster and faster. I love the feeling of dangerous, the heart pounding part (I love it when I can hear my heard pound faster and faster) and the cold sweat part!! Yes! It was so good to be young and “dangerous”. What was the price I paid? I got accident more den 6 times in that year. Life is just like driving: we could drive recklessly or we could drive safely. My life was exactly the way I was driving, I was reckless and I took my youth for granted. I love the dangerous part in my life when I was younger. Curiosity was all over me. When I was in my teens, I love to try everything; this includes crime committing, suicides, and …. (Wont say anymore =x just in case my parents sees this!! LOL) but, what I am trying to say is that, is it all worth it? What was the price I paid for? I didn’t do well in my studies, I got barred from schools, and I can barely stand up on my feet to face my problems! To be honest, I am ashamed of myself.
Again I repeat, life is just like driving. It is how the way we drive, and we deal with it. I remember that when I was in form 5, after my tuition in Ghee, it was a rainy day. I was driving very fast that day. When it comes to a junction, I tried to turn; but the car skied off and I hit a car opposite to me. Then, I run!! Haha! Yes, I did run, but did I solve the problem? NO! After a week, a police warrant was sent to my house. It says that if I didn’t surrender myself, I will be jailed. I was so scared that time. Of course I did turn in myself, but luckily I was fined only. What could I have done? If I settle with that guy on the spot that day, I wouldn’t be fined; or even, if I didn’t turn in myself, I would have been jail. That is why; in life we should have face the consequences before it got worst. Like my driving and accidents, damages have been done in my life. There are only 2 options left:
1. Like hit and run: don’t think bout it, act like nothing happen
2. In accident: deal with the damages (like pay the person that got hit); face the damages that have been done in our life, deal with it.
I guess I have chosen option 1 for 20 years of my life, but I am glad that now, I have chosen option 2 before the consequences got worst. I did regret for a lot of things that have been done in my life. My biggest regret was the subject I chose for my degree programme. Honestly, I have been whining for 3 years, and hated it for as long as I can remember. But now, I guess I have stopped whining, and starting to accept it. Erm.. I didn’t say I liked it, but at least I don’t hate as much as before.
What I am trying to say here is that, who won’t make a mistake? It is just the matter of how we deal with them. I wouldn’t say I won’t make a mistake in the future, but at least now, I may stop at the junction and think a moment; and decide which road to travel. I deeply love my life no matter how much damages I have done to them.
No matter what have happen in our life, let us have a moment of silence to review them. Be proud and stand up for yourself no matter how much damage you have done in your life.
