The future is now

The future is now. The present is already the past. The past will haunt us. The present will turn into the haunting past if we don't treat every moment as the future. Every moment your actions affect your future. After 27 years and some odd months on this planet, I finally realize how precious time is, and how little or how much we have (based on your perspective). Decisions that I made with full confidence years ago now seem like the worst possible moves I could have made. I basically spent all this time without any specific goals in life. Making a decision without a goal in mind is like hammering a nail without knowing where to hammer it.

Sometimes you try to laugh it off but it doesn't help. This is one of those times for me, where so many things that have been building up slowly now all happen at once... Amazing how one day you can feel in complete control and the next its as if the steering wheel flew off. Please no pity parade, but if you feel like posting a hilarious joke to lighten up my mood, go right ahead.

Hey I just realized this year I passed my 10,000th day on this blue planet (which by the way didn't always look blue) and I didn't mark the occasion in any way :( Whoever is reading this, if you're approaching that special day, go all out and party. Let everyone know you've been growing on this planet for 10,000 days.
