Nothing Is As It Seems To Be

Like everyone else, I am just passing through life as carefully as I can, watching my steps as I go. However, there are times when I forget that not everything is as it seems to be.
You see your boyfriend or girlfriend every other day. you watch your younger siblings play and sometimes you join them. And as usual, you hear your elders nagging you. Strange as it may sound, there will be a time when you will come to wish you could hear it all over again, watch the kids play some more or listen to those sweet nothing from your lover. But there is no turning back time.
I have lost dear ones along the way.
The realisation that they would not be around for my birthday or when I succeed is even painful to accept. I have seen close friends walk in and out of my life, leaving a whole lot of marks in my heart. I have learned that everything is not as it seems to be.
On the surface, everything may be perfect but you never quite grasp how perfect it is until you get to the nitty gritty of the situation.
I have seen lovers breaking up, making up, and then breaking up again. I had a special friend but as time went by, so did my friend. He found someone better. I have never realized that I was not good enough for him. Nothing is ever what it seems to be.
With every passing day, I tell myself that I have to let the people I care for and love know how I feel about them. Be it my mother, brothers or friends, letting them know that they are loved is important. And yet there are times when I have failed to do so and the regret is so great.
Never assume that those who are dear to you, know that you love them. Sometimes a little reminder can make a huge difference in one’s life.
It only takes a couple of minutes to express your feelings but it will carry your loved ones a mile through life. We hear this so often but trust me,it is very important. Letting someone know how much you care and love him or her is important because you never know if there is tomorrow for this person. And should you miss the opportunity, the regret is so great,
What would be better? to say those simple words that bring great meaning, or to hold onto your words and regret it for a lifetime. Regret never brings any benefit-only pain and sorrow.
So why wait, when you can say it now. Why postpone till tomorrow what you can do today?
Why wait when you know that time waits for no man? Why wait at all? Nothing is as it seems to be. Nothing. Only we have the control of our own life so start take control of urlife today!
