Opportunity, Missed

 

Hi, guys.

I'm pretty sure that people are no longer blogging in this era of social media. Everything is made instantaneous and interesting. However, I'm still walking on this blogging path. There's an alluring and satisfying feeling when you can write your opinions and thoughts elaborately. Well, technically I'm typing but nobody likes a Ted Mosby. Haha.

A lot has been going on for the past couple of years, especially since I've stayed in Kuala Lumpur, a city full of opportunity and diversity. There's also a dark side of it, I've noticed. It's easy to get distracted and delve into the realm of wickedness. I shall leave at that for now.

As of late, I think mainly due to the CMCO, I've been thinking about the missed opportunity that I have had. Some potential endeavours that I have overlooked, most of the time, I was unaware of this. Probably due to my lackadaisical nature that has been with me since I was small or I don't know for how long. This realisation made me so disturbed and sad for a moment. And the hard questions ensued. "Am I not serious enough?" "Why didn't I take my time with this?" "How can I be so blind?" "Why didn't I appreciate that?" The reason I'm bringing this up is because I wanted to let you know that, I guess, karma has caught up with me. Not the stripper Karma from HIMYM, but that thing in life that will hit you hard if you were to continue of being oblivious of your actions.

Too long have I taken things for granted and let things go by without really looking into them. Experiences, friendships, relationships. I realised that now. Time will wait for no man. Somehow, I blame my comfort of being alone in my own head that grew me into this douchebag. Well, a friend of mine corrected that by saying "just a dash of douchie." Therefore, I'm trying to make amends, if not reconnecting back where I have left off.

I still have a long way to go, in terms of improving myself of being more aware and present in the moment. I hope what we can learn from this is that we should not be oblivious with the things that we have, even when it came to you unexpectedly. It's the things that came to us unexpectedly that can change your whole world entirely. Take it from the one who experienced that first hand.

Cheers.
