As kids, most of us always wanted to grow up as quickly as possible. Like it was our gateway to freedom, to do things our way, to do things as we wanted and pleased, to not be said "NO". But, oh how wrong and childish our ideas of growing up were. Right?
But today, here we are, sitting alone in our room, or a cafe, or a corner, or a bus, and contemplating about life and how messed up it is. Yes, life will get easy, yes everything that happens, happens for good, yes, yes, yes, there is so much to our life than meets the eyes. But, isn't life all about suffering and chasing after materialistic or stupid dreams. We run and run and chase and chase and compare and compete, we are a miserable piece of garbage. Unrecyclable.
But, there is one more thing about our life. Do you know what it is? The way we are today, the life that we have today, is all led by the choices we have made throughout. If it's good, let's thank the people who have helped us. But if it's bad, let's not go on blaming anyone. You are late because the driver was slow? No, you are late because of each choice that led you to that driver. Any external factor or person or situation is just triggering the choices that we make. We are driven by the choices and their consequences.
This, however, does not include the time of our life where we are unaware of the choices we have, the choice we make, in general of the time when we are incapable of shaping our lives. Childhood.
Our childhood is shaped by the people around us, by the situations we face and by the surrounding we are involved in, of which we may or may not have any control over.
Yet, I say again, what we are today need not be what we are tomorrow or what we were yesterday and it is nobody's fault. Nobody is to blame for. And each of us must realize this. because this changes our whole perspective of how we look at life.
But, it can't be denied that choices have consequences.......................
And although my writing reads conflicting in things I am trying to highlight, the gist is that we have control over how we want our life to be next or now. Yet, we must also keep in mind, in doing so we are not harming any life. "Our choice" really is not our choice, if it involves torture, suffering or pain to another being.

Its good to blow the steam off every once in a while.
