If you think about it, life could just be a piece of fiction. Except, it has endless pages… just waiting for another story to be documented.
Hey, I’m cups but you can call me David for today. Welcome to hotcuppa.
Life is complicated. Maybe it’s only me, but I know that we’re all looking for answers or a purpose. That might come from ideologies, theology, or even philosophy but it’s all the same, limited knowledge trying to understand limitless intellect.
I’ve come to terms with this realisation, as I was always looking for answers as to my faith and my purpose. There’s more than that, and there’s always a story to be told.
Sometimes, with the right music or the right circumstances, my life feels like my movie. While you can make a rebuttal saying this is ego-centrical, that’s what I thought as a kid. Now, I’ve realised that my life is just a tiny footnote in a book that still unravels itself until the end of time. Life is like a movie, but really… it’s more like a play. A play, with endless scenes and endless points of view all happening in one moment.
We’re all individuals and we have a crucial role to play. A role to choose right and wrong; our morality, with the will to write the destiny in our very temporal lifetime. Our stories matter, so make it count. Make this life count.
Don’t waste it on temporary moments of happiness. Do you really believe the vices you use give you happiness?
Spend it on bringing joy to yourself and others, through connection and hobbies. Joy worth sharing, joy that makes an impact.
Don’t waste it on selfish luxuries, treasures that don’t carry a purpose. Those with a price, ready to be sold at any time.
Spend it on the memories you can forge and protect with your life, no matter if it’s just a moment or an event worth reminiscing in your lifetime.
Don’t waste it on pleasing people who won’t care about you, only to use you at that final moment.
Spend it on the ones who will love you, and possibly even feed you. Those who will carry you like a cross at your darkest times.
And remember, just saying YOLO doesn’t mean waste it on parties and alcohol. Life is the greatest treasure you’ll ever find. Value it like the most priceless thing you’ve ever found.
