Hello world and to whoever invented middle life, for your information I am caught in it and so frantic about it. Thanks a lot!
Too many times I’ve been in terminals fetching and dropping off people because everybody’s bound somewhere. And too many times I’ve been in terminals waiting, wondering, exchanging glances with strangers. In all those times I have tracked back the roads I’ve been and the few souvenirs I brought with me.
1. When a home gets too sad on the inside step out where friends spread the good vibes.
2. When the people you know act strange and start to change, perhaps they’re coming out of their shell on the wrong crack but let them be, they’ll eventually grow.
3. If you can’t get a good laugh from the people around you, You Tube comes with a pile of comic acts.
4. Who needs a womanizer but if you can keep one make sure to get the hang of it.
5. Have as many friends as you can, according to your purpose but keep a few who’ll stick and pick you up when you get too wasted.
6. When the world seems to nag at you, go to church, kneel and pray.
7. Take a walk alone, shop alone, eat alone and give yourself a peace of mind that comes in a cone and different flavors and melts beautifully.
8. Go on a trip for a breather, take pictures with the locals and be where you’re at.
9. See your family more often, wear your attitude.
10. Shout out your anxiety or play a heavy metal.
11. Have a complete list of happy songs you can get back to from time to time.
12. Sleep late on some days and sleep early on some.
13. When your friends start to get married while you can’t even start a relationship, stay pretty.
14. Hang out with older folks and learn from them because they have more experiences of being wrong.
15. In relationships, when it’s your turn to care, take the turn, give your best and when it’s over, have no regrets.
16. Cry
17. Dress up when boredom gets too much to handle.
18. When the people who know you think you’re weird, reserve a normal personality for the show.
19. Have a Monday night out like it’s the weekend.
20. Do not fear to love may it be one-way, two-way, or better yet in many ways.
As you grow older and all the hormonal imbalances have been settled you realize the essentials in life. You get to compare of which feelings you’d like to outgrow or keep, which memories are worth keeping in the vault and people who should be traced back or should just be left a stranger. Though sometimes fate mixes things up and time becomes the enemy, in relationships, I make it a point that there is no turning back, everybody’s a passer by and what we have here is a one-way road.
