.free-wheeling veracity .

In today's generation, clearly, everything is diversified. People adapt to change faster than they can finish drinking a bottle of wine or munching fish balls in a stick. They can manipulate things into their own hands and speak their minds almost without a break and sometimes, without even thinking. We are all but innocent. Having to disguise ourselves is far more pathetic than a man who does nothing but to get drunk. Challenged by life's scenarios, we are destined to do one thing: making the right choices, better yet, arriving with the best choice we are left with.

I have always thought about how we get to choose, between what is good for us and what can make us a better person. Do we stop to make pauses to absorb and re-think the things that we do or do we forget how important it is to live every second of our lives? And then next thing we know, the memories that were so precious are left forgotten.

It is sad to say that we are afraid to make the wrong decisions, to feel regret after having to do so. Personally, I think making a choice is not just something that we have to abide with. It is and will be part of ourselves whether we like it or not.
There are a lot of things to think about: to win, to lose, to find ourselves, to fail, to stand again, to find the lost love we once had, to be forgiven, to say we’re sorry, to be happy, to experience loss, to be sad, to be lonely and to be free again. Yet, we are still trapped in cowardice. We always find ourselves in the dead-end. Facing defeat, we find ourselves losing track of everything.

These are what we have. Reality hits that can either make or break us. It is up to us to choose what we have to do. You have to prepare for anything and everything that could transpire. As they say, life is not a bed of roses. True. But it is all up to you whether to experience it or lose the chance of having it.

Think. It never hurts to. Be true to what you feel. It is never too late to change what you have to. Trying to decide what you want to do is never going to hurt you. Believe in yourself and what you can do. Never be afraid of committing the same mistakes, en route to it are lessons worth living for. Be a person with principle, one who knows how to live up to the instilled values they have. Choose not only because you think it is right but because you know it is right and is for the best. Never feel regret after doing so, as the saying goes: what does not kill you, only makes you stronger.

There are hundreds of things to think about, hundreds of things to choose from, deciding what we should do next is just a parcel of thought we have to be firm about. There is nothing wrong with it. We may have faults at times and sometimes we forget the more important things in life, but in the end, following your heart’s desire is truly, what will matter.
