In Pursuit of Happiness

If you had the opportunity to change something, to redo, what would it be? No matter how hard or impossible it may seem, if life gave you a second chance, what would you do?

While I go through this busy and fast city, these thoughts often cross my mind. I can not but look at people and observe them (it’s fun when you don’t have to live his/her life). I observe the man with glasses ridding the scooter, the sleepy driver of the pajero, the bearded security guard at the shoe store. I see them looking back at the city with hope and disappointment, with lust and fear. I can almost feel their tension. Smiling fares are rare at this time of the day. Though to be honest I see some people laughing at me seeing my weird haircut…

If life gave them a second chance what would they do?

But unfortunately life doesn’t give you a second chance– you have to be fast and accurate at everything you do. Otherwise I would have put an end to our ****ing miseries a long time ago. I would have stopped him from going out that morning and then none of these would have happened. I wouldn’t have ‘gone bad’ or get 16 out of 100 in physics. We could have moved to a much nicer place than this crappy 40 years old piece of shit. Most importantly my brother would have someone to look up to.

But he went and he died.

  2. I personally wouldn´t change absolutely anything. At all! And I´m 100% positive about that.

    I love my life- whatever I go through - bad&good experience, it makes me who I am today. I don´t really know WHY exactly (I can explain why, but I still don´t know the root of it) but.. bad things do give us more experience and make us stronger, so yeah :)

  3. im feeling your pain using **** instead of the real word as google is a bit fickle with censorship. i would probably move somewhere else and really do things i want to like die the hair, get tatoos, and party more.(probably a violation of the blogger tos)

  5. Can we only pursue happiness and never achieve it?

    Do we want second chances? I think most of us want to move on. I dont think we want reruns of the same thing - that wouldnt be a happy situation.

    In your post it is not clear who went and died?

  7. I am so sorry. I just lost my best friend. I won't say that I know what you're going through, but I do know about pain and loss and I'm sorry that this has happened to you.
