well, today i visited a friend…after so long not meeting her, i decided to catch up with her..haha…(well, afterall, it’s gonna be her birthday soon…)
anyway, got to know a lot of things from her…but the most shocking of all is about a friend who has left to a better place……she fell victim to one of the most vicious killer of all, Cancer….although i didn’t know her THAT well, i still feel kinda sad….i mean, she is a bright and shinning person…..i still remember her running around, going for camps…but now, she is gone….it’s so hard to believe it….and to make the impact even harder, she is 1 year younger than me!! she has such bright future…!!!! it didn’t hit me this hard when i got the news…but now it got me thinking..
anyway, this incident has made me thought deeper about the meaning of life…i’m not gonna get all philosophical now, but what is life?
it’s just something so fragile and the fire on our lifecandle can just burn out, or simply blown out just like that. our vulnarable life could just be gone…an active person does not mean that that person is healthy and will live till grey hair covers his head…a sickly person might just outlive anyone of us now….
Death can happen to anyone, anytime, and at anyplace. It’s not like any anime stories or fairytale, there’s no resurrection in this reality…when you’re gone, YOU’RE GONE..!!
i wouldn’t want to be the person to lie on my deathbed and think about the things that i’ve not accomplished and done in life. living life to the fullest is what i’ve been doing everyday. Some ppl might say that i’m stupid and crazy for trying out different things and doing stupid crazy stuffs….
to some people, my cosplaying hobby is a weird one….like my friend once asked me, why was (and i still am) i willing to spend my hard saved cash on costumes and props….she did say that i’m plain stupid…(i’ve no comment on that…i’ve seen ppl shop for clothes that they don’t even wear…..)
what i told her in return is that i DARE to be different and i live my life to the fullest….i wouldn’t want to regret on my deathbed and cry about what i did or did not do in the past…
another case was when i was blonde…many people glare at me for turning my hair into another colour which was of not my identity…i didn’t care…as long as i’m happy about it, i couldn’t care less about other’s people views…(although i did shock my family..haha….the looks on their face…PRICELESS!!)
at least i can reflect back and proudly say that i’ve been there, done that….
my one advice to my friends…is to live life to the fullest and never have any regrets in life….once you make a choice, go through it with happiness…as life is so fragile, you wouldn’t know when you’ll ‘move on’…
to the family of my departed friend, my condolences to you..but always remember, she has been freed of her sufferings and is in a better place now…
she will surely be missed but not forgotten….
