属于我的昨天之前的结局
Yes. This is a old song. Well, my itunes shuffled it while I am trying to study in the library. I still am. Isn't this such a nice song! zomg. The way the lyrics are written is certainly quite unique.
Have you ever had that kind of feeling that you have a lot of things that you want to do? Things you want to do before you die? So many things that you want to do but you were always waiting for the perfect opportunity. Maybe the situation now is not in your favour or maybe because you have always been busy. But busy doing what?
There are so many things that society expect of us, so many things that we do because of obligation. We go to school. We study. We get a job. We eat. We sleep. We pay taxes. We complain. Then we just repeat next day and everyday. Then we die, like everyone else. (Nice. Talk about really blending into the crowd.) At the end of the day, what is it that you really want to do? Oh come on. I am sure everyone has something crazy that they have always though of doing but never come to it. I am sure everyone have dreams.
However we grew up in an environment where dreams are unrealistic, irrelevant. Unfortunately. we grew up in a society which celebrates mediocrity. We should just be like everyone else and be normal. Don't try to stand out from the crowd and do something funny. You will most likely fail and be a lesson for others. We should be down-to-earth and play it safe. We should just be contented with what we have. Why take any risks? We should know how to differentiate the possible from the impossible. Just do what everyone else is doing and we will be just fine.
Wait a moment. Why in the world would you want to be just fine? Why don't you ask for more? Why settle for mediocrity? I understand that I only live once. That is precisely why I don't want to play it safe. Of course I am not talking about crossing a busy road with my eyes closed alone or anything of that sort. You get what I mean. Why let people tell you what is possible and what is not. How do they know anyway? Based on experience? Many people tried to fly and failed. Experience told them that flying for human beings is impossible. But that did not stop the Wright brothers from inventing the aeroplane.
Now, do not go running to the bank to withdraw all your savings and try your luck at the casino. Do not leave things to chances. If you really want something, fight for it. You must work hard for it. Be in control.
Think about it. On the day that you die, if you ask yourself, "Have I truly lived?" What would be your answer?
Okay. Writing with proper grammar is a real bitch. I have no idea either why I always feel like writing something when I am supposed to be studying instead. :/
属于我的明天之后的憧憬
