I probably didn't know how much it hurts to see things in a way most people around me can't, until I recently started trying to educate my friends on how most of us aren't loving, we're barely just existing.
Ever since I experienced something that I could call as an intervention, my life has been different. You see, I no longer live like I have a lot of time ahead of me, I now live my life as if I could die the next minute, because in as much as we don't pray for death, it's going to come eventually, on a random day and in the middle of unfinished plans.
And because I know this, I try to make my friends around me try to understand these things too and hopefully get to live their life, not only with purpose, but with as much happiness as possible, but they just never seem to get it.
Few days ago, I had called this friend of mine. She used to be someone I was closed to, but we ended up falling out and didn't speak for about a month. And to be fair, I completely forgot about her, probably because I didn't take any of the issues to heart.
But the moment I remembered, I had picked up my phone and called her. And when we eventually met in person, she had told me how surprised she was when she saw my call because she had thought I wanted nothing to do with her anymore, considering she was the one that offended me.
But after I explained to her my views on life, and how it wasn't even my intention for this whole issue to linger for a month, I could tell she got to see a new side of me that she probably never knew I had.
The good thing about living life this way for me, is that I get to do whatever I want to do, whenever I want to do it, and at the end of the day, I end up feeling happy and fulfilled within my soul.
