One Day It's Too Late

YES YES YES yow, life is too short to live in anticipation of tomorrow.  SO HOW?  We must learn to embrace the urgency of NOW, to seize the moments we have and make the most of them.  Unfortunately, waiting for tomorrow might become our biggest regret because by then, it will be One Day It's Too Late.  If I am nursing any flickering hopes now, it's that hoping we can all express our feelings with maturity, understanding that emotions such as anger, disappointment and even hatred re a natural part of ourselves that cannot be ignored.  We must have that courage to face and deal with emotions openly rather than letting them build up and create inner chaos UNTIL ONE DAY IT'S TOO LATE.  YES, there's NO need to pretend.  Instead, it's better to be honest and firm in stating that we feel , WHAT we want and even WHAT we really reject OR disagree with📗📙📘

True, it is so damn easy [and practically effortless] for us all to fall into that trap of procrastination, believing that there will always be ANOTHER opportunity, ANOTHER day, ANOTHER chance to pursue our own dreams, ANOTHER hope to mend broken OR damaged relationships OR to even express our deepest feelings.  BUT WHAT IF there ISN'T?  WHAT IF the tomorrow we so eagerly anticipate NEVER comes?  WHAT IF the sun NEVER rises?  Then, maybe we could look back, we would be like saying 'I REGRET NOT LISTENING TO MY PARENTS ADVICE, I SHOULD HAVE PAID MORE ATTENTION AND TAKEN LESSONS FROM THEIR OWN EXPERIENCES THEY WERE SHARING TO ME THEN' or maybe IF ONLY I HAND'T RUSHED INTO THAT DECISION, MAYBE I COULD HAVE AVOIDED THAT PAINFUL MISTAKE' or maybe I REGRET HURTING THE PEOPLE I LOVE, I SHOULD HAVE BEEN WISER IN EXPRESSING MY FEELINGS AND PAYING BETTER ATTENTION TO THEIR FEELINGS AS WELL💚💛💜

How often we could hear expressions anticipating future apprehensions and fears like ONE DAY, IT WILL BE TOO LATE.  IT WILL BE TOO LATE TO TELL THEM THAT WE LOVE THEM.  IT WILL BE TOO LATE TO BEGIN AGAIN.  IT WILL BE TOO LATE TO DO ALL OF THE THINGS YOU MOST DESIRE, SO DO THEM NOW, AND DO THEM SOON, BECAUSE NO TOMORROW IS A GUARANTEE but rather that it is just one of the assumptions we make for our own sanity💧💧💧

Let's pause for a minute and think about it.  Often, some of us do take for granted the moments we have, assuming that there will always be another chance to make the things right [from wrong], OR to pursue the passions we always dreamt [but have remained dreams as such] OR to even mend fences with loved ones and even the person you considered as your BFF [best friend forever] tracing back from your elementary school days, whew!!!  Sadly, there are really NO guarantees in life  Tomorrow is NOT promised.  Tomorrow is NEVER etched in stone and the only moment we truly have is the present.  BUT we do hear you, we all live in a world filled with endless [and sometimes complicated and intertwined] distractions, obligations and responsibilities.  Heard of this narrative a zillion times.  A determined son/daughter decides to work as an OFW [overseas foreign worker] to extricate his/her family from the financial doldrums.  That time, he/she was counting that in 2 to 3 years, he/she will come back for good!!!

Alas, those narratives share the same 'endings'.  That hardworking son/daughter ended up working as an OFW for decades and by the time he/she decided to come back home, it was too little too late because by then, knock on wood, he/she was struggling with his/her failing health [after working his/her ass for many decades].  NOT the best story-ending script to read OR listen to BUT this narrative is so commonly heard especially with the 'unsung' heroes from the Third World WHO end up as OFW's for many decades, deprived of enjoying the fruits of his/her labor through the years.  Sadly, ONE DAY IT'S TOO LATE😂😂😂
