ETA: Unknown

Somedays, you'll wonder where it all went wrong. If you could turn back the clock and pin-point that exact breaking point, what could you have done, what should you have done instead? If you did this instead of that, would it have mapped out a different path that brought to this point in life? For better or for worse?



I suppose I'll never know. I Suppose it doesn't matter. The past is the past. What's done is done. No matter how hard you try, wish, and dream there's no changing things now. All you can do is wake up the next morning and hope for the best.


I must not be very talented at hoping.


They say it's a long way from happiness. For some it is no way to happiness. Happiness is something people will spend years, their whole lives searching for. Sadly, some never find it. But they will certainly die trying. But what choice do we really have? In a lifetime one has to do something until his or her day of judgement. Everyone dies eventually.

In fact, we're really all dying now. And dying with each passing moment. From the day each and everyone of us were born into this world the clock started ticking. Counting down to zero. Counting down to that day of death. Perhaps, counting down to that day of freedom. The amount of time we start with varies from indvidual to individual. No one knows their time, or their time left for that matter.



Someone once said: "Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die tomorrow"



Inspiring words indeed.


But that someone never considered that for some of us, the last three words of the first sentence of this quote is our worst nightmare-simply because the last three words of the second sentence is our dream.



It is now 3:49 AM, perhaps at this time my mind-set is not where it should be. But as I gaze out my 10th-story window and into the night, I can only realize this:

It's a long way to happiness-and the clock just can't tick fast enough.
