I'm Happy. I just Decided to be.
What I am and have today is what I wished for and a triple more. Yesterday, in the year 2055, I was 70 years old. I was hapless. All my surrounding conditions never seized pushing my misery vibes. I was old. I was crippled. I couldn't walk. I couldn't talk. I was diagnosed with a disease unknown to man. I was mere flesh on bones. I had nobody around me and all my family were lost or gone. I lost all I ever had.
I was suffering in silence. My life was lost and I couldn't realise how fast the years went by and brought me to that age. But I must admit; I was a bad person.
Caring was the last thing to cross my mind. I hurt many people. I lied, I stole, I drank, I killed, I did whatever it took to please my ego. In a moment yesterday just before the sunset, I felt so sad and sorry. Sad for what I missed and sorry for what I have done. In a moment, I crossed my hands and closed my eyes, a twinkling tear dripped and I made a wish. I made a wish to be brought back in time to have a second chance.
All I have today is what I wished for and a triple more. I woke up this morning 29 again. I'm healthy now. My happiness is easily found in simple things. I find pleasure in taking a walk alone down the street listening either to silence or the sounds of nature. I'm now living with my family. I even have a job teaching English in my old high school, a job decent enough to make a living.
Now, I may not be the smartest, I may not look the best, I may not have wealth and fame, but all those amount to nothing compared to the rush of joy I get at the end of the day when I can go back to bed, close my eyes and sleep in peace with God and men. I felt I have to start paying back. I decided to train youth on how to become a better person than I was.
It's amazing to find that the best way to get more than what you want is not to ask for much. I now have some friends. To some, I mean the world and to me they mean the heavens.
I'm thankful for what I have. I have just been granted a second chance. Your life too now is your second chance. It's what you wished to escape a hapless one.
