THEN
Get to bed at 8 sharp. Put that white religious powder on your forehead, in order to keep them scary monsters away. Next morning, mom is helping you brush your teeth, she then lovingly tells you to drink milk. Spill the milk because you're still sleepy and you just dreamt that you already finished milk, had a bath and was ready for school. Say 'I love you' to your mom, Kiss her goodbye and hop on the van to school. Ah, you love school. It's not simple, yet it's not complicated. Play bull-run with everyone in the break. Make friends. Keep them.
Back in class,where your teacher is your friend. You respect him. You adore him. Home work.
You say oh why, yet you never fail to complete it. Waiting, loitering. Waiting for the darn bell to ring. Race your friends to the van. Eat ice-cream. Eat junk. Sing songs. Play games.
Ride your bicycles in circles. Make imaginary friends. Have friends who are girls. Converse with them with no awkward silences. Watch cartoon network. Wonder why your parents read the newspaper.
Be perplexed at the sight of skyscrapers and shopping "malls". Have no idea what "science" really is, and what it has done for mankind. Not even care. Stare at the night sky in awe. Not knowing that the ozone layer is a farce. Not caring for sun tan and harmful U.V rays. Not knowing our future, not even caring to know.
Live life like there's no tomorrow...
NOW
Sleep only when you're relaxed. Perpetually dream, both literally and figuratively. Pray to God in times of trouble. Question his existence in the most iffy situations. Read about ghosts, black magic, yin-yang, war and peace. Look at a matter from multiple angles, even when the answer is right there! Marvel at the creation of the universe. How we evolved from those crazy little chimps. Why are we so "complex"?.
Make your own milk, Set your own alarm on. You miss class? Deal with it. Sure, you love your mom. You just don't tell her anymore. Some things needn't be said. Seeing things is different from believing things. Did we ever have this angle when we were kids. Make new friends. Lose touch with old ones. Bitch about people because it's the new norm. Don't have friends who are girls, for they contribute to awkward silences:) Live in this mtv generation cliche. Always wonder why. Always condemn what the heart has to say. Reminisce about the past, but deal with the complicated future.
Life life for there is a tomorrow...
Deal with it. Life is a lesson. You learn it when you are through.

Hmm... I am in the middle... getting there...
err middle? you mean the lesson part.
Dude nice blog ! very casual but conveys the meaning with force! Dude I think that you believe that you have sort of ruined your life by not using your potential to its maximum! Dude, I think you are just exploring all your hidden talents now not wasting times.Coz i definitely see a philosopher?writer in the making!no bullshit
Very Thougtful...and nostalgic. But thats life i guess, when we are living in the "Then" we only think of how mean life can be and we dream of the "Now"; which we want to flee from while we are actually in it...back to the "Then".:)
you've used dude thrice here man. No wonder they call you dude:) On another note, What is this have to do with me potential? All i'm trying to say is, life was so simple back then. Innocence got us through.But now,it isn't so. We analyse the simplest of tasks, try to fathom what can possibly go wrong when nothing actually can.
Personally, i think all of us are in that phase where everything is uncertain.
About the writer part, aren't you deviating from the topic in hand:)
thank you ajeya:)
Exactly what i mean. why aren't things so simple now..
Visit again
I guess i was trying to be hypercritical on things ,you are right we all fear uncertainty at this phase!Thanks for clearing that up, Now i truly understand!
