Things to do....

My mom always said "time runs out in a blink, so make the most of the time you have"... and like most things mom's say this one is right as well.

Maybe it was her energy and her zeal to do things that we caught our maybe it's just the time bug.. but I'm bitten for sure. Yes, I have wasted quite a few precious years, but I've always had this restlessness in me... the urge to do something.

I detest people who just sit and yap, who are happy with their day to day lives never bothering about the bigger picture. I don't want to be just another cog in the wheel. And by this, I don't mean I want to be rich and famous, or a celebrity or whatnot...I just want to learn a LOT! know about every damn thing there is to know. It bothers me that I have missed so many chances, so many things that I can never do again. And time still runs by... difficult to catch even for a moment.

I have this need to do things, and I hate it when I can't because there are other things to be done that other people want. If it were up to me.. I'd be a painter, or a writer or a designer, or a dancer or at least a linguist. And yes, I agree... it IS up to me.. the fact that I am bogged down in MY mundane daily life is my doing too.. it drives me mad to not be able to get out of the routine.. go to office come back home, go to office come back home.. I want to meet new people every day. I want to make new friends, I want to go visit places and stay where it suits me for as long as it does. Some may call it a "hippy" tendency.. I just feel I have it in my genes.. and there is nothing that I can do about it.

As I write this, time is slipping by, but at least i have put my thoughts down, at least there is something to show for this time. It bothers me that others are not conscious of this passage of time, that they waste time in minor bickering, and protocols and how things are done, or just watching TV while life is passing by.

When I say I don't just wanna be another cog in the wheel, I mean I want to give something back... in however small a way.. and I think it's never a better time to start than now!

I've had these thoughts swirling in my head for sometime.. and writing this post has probably helped me more than anyone (of course).. at least I have put a name to my priority.. i.e. to live a good life... Let's see where this takes me now :)
