The Hindsight


The best thing about life is the “moment”. It’s what defines you, what makes you who you are. No matter how much you plan, built or construct, it’s in that one moment that things happen, lives change. You realize that nothing is ever perfect, or even close to it. One moment in life can transform the façade of your expectations from life and make it the most epic fiction you've ever come across. Things we never thought would happen to us, things we swore we’ll never do, people we promised we’ll stay forever with, love, faith, guilt, desires, hopes – all that we ever owned, shaken – for good or for bad, is a matter of perspective.
 
We meet people, we bind them in expectations, we fall in love, we make promises and we hope to hold on to them forever. Life, as they say, was never served on a platter.  The irony of reality is it’s unpredictability. The minute you start settling with the lemons life gave you, peaches begin to grow. We all have that one moment we regret, one moment that makes us proud, one moment that gives us the strength, one moment that tells us that life, goes on... Yet we trust, we expect and all this just to savour disappointment. I might be too young to understand how people make all the difference in one's life, but I am perhaps too old to not realize that you become what you choose.
