I can't help posting this text message (Sorry,
Kev, your "thoughts" made me think again. ^^). Reading the words "525,600 minutes ago" made a quote flash in my mind. (Well, aside from thinking of "Seasons of Love" from Rent, of course.) The quote goes like this:
"Times passes by, like a dove's wing, unsoil'd and swift, and of a silken sound." -Anonymous
Indeed, time flies so fast that you don't notice that many days have passed and you are older than you thought you previously were. It was like I'm this carefree ten-year-old that likes climbing a lot (esp. roofs and fences), and now, I'm almost seventeen! Wow. What on earth happened these past *almost* seventeen years of my life? Well, I lived life, yes, but living life is not enough.
I always like to say, "Enjoy life!", but what does that really mean? There are a lot of things that I still want to do in life, and assuming that I live up to the average age of 70, I've got 53 or so years to live. For me, enjoying means accomplishing and being happy with it, and, I've already spend this *almost* 17/70 fraction of my life... (Kamae to self: Enough with being scientific... <_<)
Anyway, going back to my point (since, I've wandered of, as usual), we should live life in a way that when we look back, we'll be *generally* happy of how we lived it out. I admit that I have a couple of regrets here and there (ex. oversleeping *gulp*) which takes up a lot of my day when I can do something better. I want to do a lot of things, yet I fail to do so. I want, and will make, this new year as fruitful as possible... spiritually, socially and *ehem* physically. ^^
