I have much to say about today's quote and song, but I will try to stay focus on the main point I want to make which is: "Life is a fleeting moment. So care for it. Connect with it. Feel it. Don't be afraid to appear vulnerable. Embrace it. And above all be good, useful, and grateful".
Sometimes life can bring you down, and make you feel powerless. And that is okay. It means you care and you feel. Maybe you have a family member undergoing some medical treatment, or you have emigrated to another country, or you are 31 year old and with no idea of what to do with your life, or you are depressed with the current social state of the country.
The important thing to remember is to keep going and keep working to improve. And if someone you love is going through uncertainty in his or her life, just be there for them. You don't need to solve his or her life. Love their flaws and help them keep going. You might be with him or her for one day or one lifetime. The important thing is to give support.
This leads me to our song of the weekend: 2NE1's "Goodbye". The song has a simple guitar background and the awesome voice of the members. What makes this song so great is the feeling that it portrays. Through the lyrics and melody, I feel sadness but also appreciation and maybe a little bit of hope.
We make memories and don't want to let go of them - "Not everything lasts forever"
But, "even when things get rough, it will be okay"
Such simple words, but so true. Life's transitions can be tough sometimes (most of the time :). But don't be afraid of the change, and especially don't be afraid to seek the answers. Continue seeking the answers and learn. Learn as much as you can and meet people. Care for people, even if you only meet them for one day.
There will always be "dark times"... filled with "uncertainty". The question is, how will you create the light that will change our perception of the dark reality?
Be strong, be unique, and step outside of your comfort zone!
