Limbo
This is not the way limbo should be. And im not talking about the salsa music with some pole over you, with you trying to break your back trying to walk under it.
Somethings are just not right. Regardless of perspective. Are we lost, lost in this world never to be found. Perhaps having friends, doing and living life like we always do helps. Which brings me to the question of living life ? Does a person live a full life by living the mundane till their old age, or a life filled with trouble and tragedy with a short lifespan ?
What are the thrills that we seek ? Some roller coaster ride, some horror movie, a rock concert moshpitting around, some near death experience, a life threathening disease ....... Should we appreciate life when we have our numbers counted. It appears so.
We escape a lethal car crash, we get wrongly diagnosed of cancer, we do bungee jumps and we all talk about it. We appreciate the next few days of life only for it to turn normal the next following decades.
It is the fear. The fear is what makes us feel alive. We would feel alive when we have escaped. Escape whatever tragedy that could have happened. You can read that again. Whatever tragedy that could have happened. Fear would make you do wonder-full and ugly things.
Ask yourselves, when was I afraid. When was the last time I had my heart pumping 200 beats per minute. Thats 3 times the average resting cycle of a 20 year old. [Or for our readers who are much older, count it yourself , rough approximation of maximum heart rate, HRmax = 220 - age ] When you find your answer of when, you can secretly admit that you were high. High on adrenaline. And you can also secretly admit that you felt alive. But it'll be our secret. Yet you and I are avoiding any approximation of fear. We would want to live a full life without the mundane. But there's the problem of choice. And that's the problem of choice.
And we yearn for some safe house sanctuary wanting to sleep in our comfortable beds home at night. We yearn for some solitude knowing that everyone likes us and our partners would not kill us in our sleep.

we would have not appreciate anything if we never had lost it in the first place.
perhaps it's fear.
but perhaps we are human. we take things for granted. until it's gone. that's why we have that 'missing' feeling. coz we've missed it.
by gambling what we have, by seeking extreme sports or indulge on time-and-cost-consuming hobbies, we dared ourselves to let go. of certain things. of commitments, of complacencies.
and to remind us later, those are the things we missed. and felt life was all fulfilled again.
update pls uncle..:P
