The Extreme Experience Life Gave Me

While attempting to start writing this post I was laying down with my fingers so close to a side of my neck and I was feeling the pace at which my heart beats, moving in and out as fast as it can and this made me remember again that the only reason why I'm still able to push through with life struggles is because I still have that breathe and life in me.

As long as we live, there is no stop to challenges, ups and downs, appraisal situations or to be scolded and learn from etc.

There were so many life experiences I had that had taught me when to let loose and when to hold tight not letting go.
I've had situations that was about changing me from being the real person I was because I felt betrayed and taken for granted but I eventually chose to be me just like a friend mentioned to me on discord but above all, life has taught me to ensure in utilizing every slightest opportunity of free moment with loved ones because we have no eternity here on earth to be together.

Fast forward.... Work got into me at some point of my life that I couldn't spare time to go home to spend time with my family and I didn't realize this until death came knocking and took away my mum.
It is my greatest hurtful experience in life which I don't always cease to talk about at any slightest opportunity because I'm sure someone might learn from it.

Though we had daily routine conversations of at least twice a day but the last physical moments I had with her was several months until the last one I saw her when she could no longer respond to a daughter calling out to her and could not stop her crying daughters from shedding tears, wailing and dragging her heavy body to stand up. Probably based on the belief of my tribe, she was invisibly there trying to pacify us but we couldn't see.

Just like I would tell my friends after I lost my mum and I will quote that

"Don't wait till you have it huge before giving out to your parents because you never can tell when they will leave. Give them even if it is as little as a sachet of beverage"

Because I wish I could give her more than I had given her or even that I was given an opportunity to know she was going soon and I would have just emptied my savings for her to do whatever she wants. It really made my heart heavy that she had not enjoyed what she laboured for aside peanuts but the greatest regrets would have been if I had not given her any and waiting for a big way to take care of her.

Since the only thing humans do not have capacity to stop is death then we must ensure that we create time for good memories with our families and our loved ones, care and show them how much we love them not because we expect them to die anytime soon but because we don't wanna regret not showing up when we had the time but thinking we still had the luxury of time around to give them the life we imagined.

This has not only make me admonish people if cases arises but has also made me understand more of what life holds, the limited time we have and not wasting any of it and this has helped me to improve more on dedicating time and attention for my loved ones as much as I can.
