move on.
So many bad things happening all around the world, around us lately. The suicide of a 14 year old girl due to bullying in Australia, the massacre of 94 innocent people in Norway. A death here, another over there.. It seems like our feelings have gradually become numbed to these emotions. The sadness that’s supposed to be there replaced by a grim determination to move on… and forget, desperately hoping that with the loss of the knowledge and memory, we’ll be able to live as we’ve always had. Yes, there are those momentary bits of sadness and hopelessness. Those thoughts of “what has the world we live in become?”, ”Why? Just why can’t we co-exist peacefully and happily and safely?” But despite this, we have to move on. Just like the news bulletins. Flickering back and forth between deaths and the news of rape victims and shootings, the rise of petrol, asylum seekers until finally they drop in lighter topics; supermodels giving birth and the newest styles.. I’ve realised we can’t just stay and slowly, gradually lose our minds in a single place of darkness. We need to pry ourselves away and be strong, be happy, convince ourselves and others the world is still okay, we can make it ok. We have to make our lives count, live every moment to its fullest, don’t waste a second of it, mourn for those who have departed and move on. Live the life they would’ve wish they had the chance to live. Live for them, and live in a way that one day it’s time for you to live, you can move on with no regrets.
