Your view on life - Page 2

Life is a curse

Life is about power of decision. When you decide on something you definitely achieve it.

You need to take life in your own hands and shape it to your desires.

So life is a sum of decisions you make. That's why by making conscious decisions you can achieve your dream life.

This is my current view on life.

Life is a gift and we should live everyday in the moment. My biggest fear in life is death. The thought of growing old or dying young terrifies me to the extent that I have a phobia of literally anything that can potentially kill me (heights, fire, swimming in the ocean etc). I simply can’t imagine the thought of no longer existing and never having the chance to live again.

I realised how much I fear death when I almost drowned at the beach. I was 21 years old and had gotten myself stuck in a rip. I remember the tides were high and the waves were monstrous. I couldn’t keep my head out of the water to breathe because the wave would push me back underneath the ocean. My body got tired trying to keep myself afloat and I could hear my friend screaming for help on my behalf. The struggle to stay alive felt like it went for hours. I had too much time to think in despair. I remember feeling so much regret for coming to the beach. I knew this was it for me and knowing that I could have been at home with my family, instead of being here, a place that will cost me my life was incredibly painful. It felt like a waste of life to face death like this. I had given up fighting and sank down. Then I saw a man swimming towards me from underneath the water like a guardian angel. He grabbed me around the waist and pulled me out. I was shaking and crying, water streaming out of my nose and mouth.

Since then the value of life has increased tenfold. I feel like I got a second chance at life and it was given to me as a gift from that angelic man, who I strongly believe was sent from God to help me. I always keep him in my prayers. May he be happy and safe wherever he is. ❤️

For me, life is a burden... All the things; each and everything that we have to do in order to survive as a human, just feel suffocating..

Even then, I realise it's importance, I realise it's a blessing and I am really selfish to not appreciate it.

When I see people who cherish their life, who have many aspirations, dreams to fulfill, who have so many people loving them, just die like this untimely...I feel so guilty, like I am living their portion of life..I, who is being a good-for-nothing, ungrateful is living while they are dying..

Hey, don't think of life as a burden re. If you feel like things become too overwhelming, just think that life is a struggle, and it is a struggle for every living being. Jeevan ka matlab sangharsh hai. Toh jab sabko struggle hi karna hai, toh khush hoke karo. 🤗

And don't beat yourself up feeling guilty. Change this narrative of viewing yourself as being good for nothing.

Mast raho.

In school time, we used to have essay writing competitions. I always scored very very low. 🥺

I have the same fear. Can't imagine how terrifying and sad that must have felt. So glad they rescued you in the nick of time!

This is life

I don't find life worthy enough to live. But I don't find it insignificant enough to die either.

Like I wonder why is there so much struggle in life. I didn't ask for it. Yeah I know everyone does it. But I don't want to do it. Is there anything wrong with it?

I just don't like to struggle. I know nobody does but I don't find that worth it either. Whatever I would get after all this struggle, would that satisfy me? I don't know but I think most likely it won't.

Why do I have to act this certain way that society expects me to be when I don't want to? Why can't I just be whatever I want to or do whatever I want to? Why do I have to follow others? Where is my choice?

But whatever it is, it's the only thing I have. Nothing else. I'm fucked. Because it's either this or nothing. I have nowhere else to go. It's not insignificant because it's the only thing significant. Even if my life is shit, it's the only thing I have. I don't have a choice and it's terrible.
