When people say that they want to
Anne Frank once said, "Dead people receive more flowers than the living because regret is stronger than gratitude". This, I find entirely true. It's not only towards other people but also ourselves. We take ourselves for granted too. When we were young, we don't realise the negative impacts we could have done to our future wellbeing. We never realised that chasing the sun for so long will someday burn us. As we grew older, we start to feel like we are slowly becoming weaker, whether it's physically or mentally. I actually feel like maybe it's not the feeling of weakness but it is strength that we find in ourselves overcoming every single obstacle we faced in life. We realised the difference between fantasy and reality, we were woke. There are times when these moments of realisation will burn into your thoughts like a searing fire and it will keep burning until when and only, we decide to distinguish the fire ourselves. We were all so eager to be an adult when we were younger and now that we are, we don't really appreciate it. Growing up is good, it shapes who we are, who were meant to be in this world. It is okay to feel lost once in awhile, it is okay to not be strong everytime, just remember to always stand tall after each fall.
There's a famous song lyrics that goes," Only know you love her when you let her go." Do you agree? I know I do. We hardly ever learn to appreciate things when it is given to us. We only realise the true value of a treasure when it is no longer there. For example, how many of us actually thank our parents for the meals they have provided for us everyday? All the years of sacrifices just to put a smile on the faces of their children. It is important to know the true value of these little things. It's not just that, there are plenty of heart-warming gestures that we take for granted. A simple gesture of appreciation can go a long way to make someone's day better.
Before we have something, we were yearning for it but once you actually have it, you'll slowly begin to appreciate it lesser. The excitement slowly dissappears. That's just how humans are, whether it is the feelings we have towards people or things we own. We unconsciously take things for granted especially when we are used to it. When it becomes a habit in our daily lives, we forgot that those little things once made us happy. Did you stopped loving someone because they have changed? Or did you stopped because you have changed? We reach a point in our lives that made us realise, good things don't come easy and it is so hard to meet people who are genuine to you. Never forget to show the people you cherish most how much you appreciate them. Never forget to appreciate yourself too, the experiences that you have gone through alone when no one was there for you, every setback you've had and overcame. I believe as humans, we should always learn how to appreciate the things we have and cherish the people around us.
