102 Not Out

So, yeah. I have dedicated my entire blog to this particular movie. But why? Is it because I loved the movie that much? No. In fact, I hated it. Not because, I didn't like the way the movie was made. I didn't have any issues with the story, acting, direction, etc. It's simply because I didn't like the way it made me feel. It reminded me of something I had long forgotten. And that is, 'everybody has to die someday.' That's the one thing everybody knows, but no one wants to think about since its so depressing.

Now, why am I writing a blog about this? No, I ain't afraid of dying. But I am afraid of one thing. My only fear is, what if I spend my entire life, without actually living. Time is passing by, every second, irrespective of what I do. There's nothing I can do to stop it or  change it. I can't even go back in time or see my future, believe me I don't want to. So, with every passing second, it feels like I am losing something. Something even money cannot buy. Sometimes, I think with just one blink, my entire life would disappear in a millisecond, without leaving any trace behind. This follows the most cliche thought that most people fear, and that is, what if I die without actually achieving anything. Now when I say achieving I mean doing something fruitful. Not like getting married, doing a job, giving birth etc., the usual stuff. But doing something worthwhile with your life. I am not saying your life aim should be becoming famous or rich. But everybody has a bucket list that includes things like traveling the world, eating all kinds of cuisines that the world can offer, learning as much as they can by reading, such things.
So I have made a list of all the cliche sayings that have been used over and over again:

"Live each day like its your last day."
"Never say Never."
"Live without any regrets."
"Nothing is impossible. The word itself says I m possible"
"The best way to know your future is to create it." 
"Be yourself, everybody else is already taken,"
"Be the change you wish to see in people."
"I have not failed. I have just found 10,000 ways that won't work."

Quotes always inspire me. For some reason they remind me, that whatever it is that I am going through today - either hurt or dejection or in this case a "bad thought day" - someone else too has been through the exact same thing.  But that being said, yeah, time is still flying, even now while I am typing, it's flying. All I can do is be conscious of how I spend this time. If anything that movie has taught me, it's this. See, I don't wanna wind up dead just like that. Not before I have lived. So, I guess I do have something to thank the movie for, after all. With this, I shall take your leave. But I'll be back with more blogs. Until then, ciao!
