错失的时机
Life is full of opportunities. Yet it is also true that we live our life with lots of missed opportunity. Opportunity to cultivate an interest, to meet people, to fall in love, to change our outlook of life, to change our present and future. We all know that opportunities should be grabbed, yet ironically, we let most slip past us because of a moment of hestitation or indecisiveness. Or more often, by our sense of 'reason' that tells us "now is not the time to do this!"
Like today, which because i felt i should record the show i had already missed half of (becuz i overslept), i didn't pen down the dream i had. It's a loss, becoz the dream had a great plot and is also very well structured that i'm pretty sure i can draw a comic based on its story.
Like a few weeks ago in HK, where i did not buy that duffel bag just because it's too cumbersome to backtrack to that stall (must understand that its 女人街 we're talking about here. So crowded!!!), and now i'm regretting it becoz there's no way i'll ever see it in S'pore (plus it's only HK$20!!!)
Like always, whenever i meet this person that i feel we have 缘分 to (like meeting 3 times in a day at different places), i'll say to myself: 'ok! if i get to meet this person again the 4th time later, i'll go and get to know him.' But it'll end up not happening, becoz i'll either not have met him again, or i'll pretend not to have seen him.
Yet there are also times whereby opportunities are grabbed too soon. It's not like temptation, where you go against reason to get that something. It's more like a reflex: becoz you fear you'll miss it, you grab it once you see it. then you'll start regretting later.
Like a few days ago, i agree to acquire a set of 2nd hand manga from the comic store i frequent, only to come to terms with myself later that i'm actually much more keener on the anime than the manga for this title.
Like a few years back, when i was feeling egocentric and invincible (traitmark of a teenager that i never realised i haf until now), i got into troublesome company that still send chills down my spine wherever i'm near a certain place.
Missed opportunities, grabbed opprtunities, mistaken oppotunities, all these forms what we now know as our past, our present, and will eventually constitute our future. It makes up our reality. It is what we are, and i believe that this is what life is all about!
Life goes on no matter which opportunity we grab or missed. And we only live life once. and since we will still be able to continue with our entire life despite a few wrong choices along the way, why not just do it? 船到桥头自然直嘛！(i know i'm sounding abit reckless here but this is what i'm feeling now la haha)
So, as what Kurogane said to Syaoran in Tsubasa book 3:
别低下头！既然有非做不可的事，那就往前看吧！
May all of us look into our future with hope, anticipation and joy. =)
