Gone are the days when all kids would go out in the afternoon for a game of hide and seek or dance in the rain, it has all come to past and will remain a memory. Playing video games inside the house was something that my siblings and I normally spend our afternoons during summer and weekends. The kids in our neighborhood prefers to go out and play during the night. We are the nocturnal kids back then, playing hide and seek, cooking sweet potatoes on the sidewalks and pestering the sleepy streets.
I went to college and got busy, I was in a hurry to get older and before I knew it I was ready or so I thought I was. I found myself working from one company to another, trying to make a living to support my family. I was not brave enough to take myself to the next level of adulthood. I stood my ground as a bachelor.
Now on my late twenties, all I can see is a faint image of me with a family I can call my own. I am afraid.. so much afraid of what might happen in the future. I had so many failures in the past that made me loose faith. I was once told to enjoy each day as the happen, treasure each moment and savor it. Think not of tomorrow for we are uncertain of what might happen. For there might not be a tomorrow and you will end up in regret because you never gave yesterday your all.
