What is Life?

Why do we live Life?

Why do we go on living in this existenc when at times it feels so insane, so pointless?"

Lord what fools these mortals be! Said Shakespeare. And sometimes I couldnt agree more. what fools we can be at times when we waste our tim and energy in hate, worry, anger, fear, self-doubt and pity. when we waste our time doing meaningless things, wasting our life away, short as it is.

Funny how as a kid I couldnt WAIT to grow up. The ultimate goal in life for me at that time was to just grow up and be a full-fledged grownup. i would then do whatever i want to do and of course, do the ultimate grown up thing, DRIVE. And then i did grow up, and now i wanna quit.

I suppose at some point in their lives, everyone wants to be like Peter Pan. we want to just stay forever young with the Lost Boys in Neverland. To just stay, in that stress-free time when everything was simple and happy. when we didn't have so many dreams and disappointments, so much pain and sadness.

I'm so mortally afraid of waking up one day, 20 years older, and thinking, " Where did my life go? What did i do with it?"

sometimes it seems we just grow up, work, start a family, raise our children, grow old and die. Depressing but true. sometimes i wonder why we bother to go through life when there seems to be no point in doing so?

But no matter how pointless and useless life may seem at times, i try to remember what we DO have in life. Love, happiness and laughter, friends and companionship. For every tar, every drop of despair, every thought of frustration, there is a moment of love, a place of happiness. A baby's first word, children's laughter, the first streak of rainbow across the sky after a storm, the first flower that blooms in the spring.

I still don't know what life is, and i still don't know why we live life. but i know that life is precious, and we should live it the best way we can. without sorrow, without regrets, without hate.

Work like you don't need the money
Dance like no one's watching
Love like you've never been hurt
Live like there's no tomorrow

Hi there,
jz happened to bump into ur web bcoz there's another friend's of mine who's hving ALMOST the same website address as urs except hers happened to have '90' after those names.

oh well, i'm still struggling with my own life up to a point of confusion when i thought i'm so sure where i am about to go and achieve the future. but later i started to slow down on my pace and observed the surrounding, everything, especially all my dear friends. they gv me the hope to continue my journey again.

Time is too short to stop or even doubt about it. Grab it when you can, every moments... n do this to glory the Lord.

best wishes to you too.
God bless.
