I have seen while we speak to old pals or even having a general discussion, most of the times we mention that “those were the best days of my life”. Especially it’s our childhood times when we are happy-go-lucky and free; wow those childhood days; no tensions just enjoy and have a blast.
I am perplexed because I remember well when young, I always wanted to grow up as soon as possible, be independent, work and earn. I was convinced that the years to come by will be the best days, when I would be all by my self. I will live my life my own way and on my own terms and above all no more studies and exams.
Today, when I am at that stage wherein I am independent and happy yet whenever we chat with friends I always comment “those good old days, miss them so much”.
Just thinking it loud, few years down the lane when I am retired and have nothing better to do, I will not shy away from admitting, those were the days when I used to work and enjoy. J
Why is it so difficult to enjoy each and every moment in present, we waste half of our time planning for future and the other half in recollection of perfect past…whew L what about present, what about today, what about this moment right away!!
Why is it so tough to admit yes these are the best days of my life or is it that we all have already lived the best days of our lives?
