The Fickleness of Life

Sometimes we get carried away with life and forget that we’re all living on borrowed time. In the twinkle of an eye, all of these may end without warning.

We all pray for long life daily, but anything can happen. That friend or acquaintance you see today might be gone tomorrow.

If there’s one thing I have come to learn is the importance of communication. Reaching out to people whenever you think about them.
Did a thought about your friend cross your mind? Did something random remind you of them? Have you been wanting to call them? Please, by all means, call them. Stop procrastinating and make that call!

Everyone is busy no doubt. Life keeps hitting us with so many things things, some of these things might be way bigger than us, and sometimes 24 hours feels so small for us that we can barely complete everything before it ends. We get drowned in whatever we are doing for weeks and sometimes even months before we come back to reality to remember we still have people who actually care about us.

When we are back to reality, we try to reach out to the people that we can, we can’t reach out to everyone as we’re trying to rest and get other minor things done. Without warning life does its “lifely” thing again and we are back to being busy and incommunicado. The cycle continues.

Some of us have so much on our plates no doubt, but we need to learn how to strike a balance. We need to learn how to manage work and our relationship with people who matter to us.

That your friend who has been trying to reach you for weeks might have something important to tell you or might be in some kind of situation.

Some of our friends and loved ones sometimes, might just want to genuinely talk to us, nothing special, just to talk to us because they care about us, as that’s what friends do.

Going all MIA on people with every opportunity we get isn’t always the best approach.
If you don’t know it already, please bear in mind that you do mean a lot to so many people and these people care so much about you. Disappearing from their lives every now and then just doesn’t cut it especially when it can be avoided.

Remember, we are all living on borrowed time, that friend you’ve been wanting to call for weeks or months might not be alive to take your call when you finally remember to call him or her. What happens in such situations? Live with the guilt for life or wallow in the pain? Neither of these options is pleasant so choose wisely. Or they might still be there waiting and hoping you call them eventually.

There are no rules to how all of these works, we just have to do what works for us.
