Live like we're dying!

Sometimes we fall down, can't get back up

We're hiding behind skin that's too tough

How come we don't say I love you enough?

'Til it's to late, it's not too late

Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come

And we could make a feast from these crumbs

And we're all staring down the barrel of a gun

So if your life flashed before you, what would you wish you would've done?

Yeah, we gotta start lookin' at the hands of the time we've been given

If this is all we got, then we gotta start thinkin'

If every second counts on a clock that's tickin'

Gotta live like we're dying

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day to

Turn it all around or to throw it all away

We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say

Gotta live like we're dying!

Its true that we should stay an optimist (I'm one too), its true that we should always think of something good to happen, its true that everything happens as its written in our destiny and fate. But how many of us have regretted not doing something at a given point of time? It can be anytime, any given moment. I'm sure most of us or may be all of us! Its that one thing we always fear..and we add those what if's, but's, et al. We wait, and wait, and wait more. Result? We never really knew when we should've ever done that. But I say, its about creating that right moment! (And no, I'm not talking just about confessing your love/proposing/whats-so-ever :P) It can be about anything..a good deed, pursuing your dream, talk with a long lost friend, ...just about anything that comes from your heart. Its about making the most of NOW ! That li'l three letter word, is all we have to depend on..NOW. Its the best way to live a life without regrets. Patience is important, agreed. But when it has to be done, it should be done. Dont know how ? Follow your instincts. And act now. Heard of this old quote "Make hay while sun shines" ? Well we should start to take this pretty seriously. 21st of December 2012 isn't too far :P (just kidding, not that I believe in it :D) .. 

Gotta live like we're dying.

Talking of living...when it comes down to 'a living', all we think of is "work, food, a house to go back" , isn't it? We get so busy with all these, that we forget to notice the love we need to induce into everything. And what happens with the union of the living and love is simple = LIFE. Love+Work becomes an interest, Love+Food becomes health and nutrition, and most of all - Love+House becomes a home. Anybody can lead a life making a living..but whats it without love? As I mentioned, the equation of life is incomplete.We sure need someone to love and who reverts it, and thats why we have a family. And we definitely need those who share your same level of madness and craziness, sharing time, every detail of life..we have our friends. We share love there..else they would be called strangers. Few say that they don't have time for love and all that, those angry-stern-great ones as they seem who are busy making a living, getting richer. But if only they had realised that just putting in some love into their own everyday's...life would be so different!

Gotta live like we're dying.

All of us have that "special someone" and nobody cares calling them so even if it sounds cliched. Love..its a great feeling..a feeling that no one in the world except you seems to understand. But broken heart? Some of us seem to take it so seriously, that we forget to note the other open doors in life. Few think its the end of world. Even I did at some point. They get engrossed so much in that grief, that they forget that life is now. They forget to notice that they're wasting that precious time. That pain may be irrevocable, may be inevitable, but that should stay in its place. Theres more to life but theres not much to the pain than just taking it. There are millions of people in this world, living a terrible life. With no love, no one to care. But they still live it through. There are people who have ailments and diseases..and no hope of life, yet they want to live it. Can't we at least take some inspiration from them, thank God, start living from now and stop cribbing about how much pain we got from the heart break? Just think how different could our life be.

Like how Holly (Hilary Swank) from the movie PS I Love You says, love can be of any form. The love for your passion, your family, work, sport, or even shoes, clothing and such. :D For me, its the love I have for designing and redesigning clothes, and photography. You'll find one too, if you search for it, now. :)

So, kill the chase, take a moment. 

Call your long lost friend, thank God for the life, discover your true passion, find out what makes you feel good, confess, tell your loved ones that you love them, take that long holiday, accomplish what needs to be, dare, confront, love. Remember to do what your heart says...now.

Make the most of NOW. :)

Gotta live like you're dying! :)

(The lines at the start of this article, are from the song "Live Like We're Dying" by Kris Allen)

We have a perfect moment, its called "now".

We never have a tomorrow, the word "tomorrow" is hypothetical.

Kal na jaane kya ho,

Kya pata kal ho na no. :)

Signing off,

Anees. :)
