missed chances

"But who can say what’s best? That’s why you need to grab whatever chance you have of happiness where you find it, and not worry about other people too much. My experience tells me that we get no more than two or three such chances in a life time, and if we let them go, we regret it for the rest of our lives. "

Norwegian Wood (Haruki Murakami)

What if somehow, you just don't see the chance given to you when it's right in front of you? What if you are that blind to not see that what you want is just right before your eyes? What if because of your blindness, you missed the chance, and never have a second one? What if you didn't even know the chance that was given right in front of you, missed it and is still wondering when will you have your chance, when will it be your turn? How can we not let go of the chance when we don't even see them? Then how will we know when we are given a chance?

There is a reason why we missed our chances. Because yes, somehow it's just not meant to be. But what if it's really out of blindness? That you are so caught up in something else that you just missed the things that are right in front of you.

But I guess this is something that we will never know. Because we already missed it. Fate falls short sometimes.  Once it's gone, you can't find it back anymore. So just look forward. And stop freaking wondering and pondering and being freaking frustrating at the possibility of you missing your chance. Because you already missed it and that's too bad. Yes, sometimes you can't help looking back and feel freaking frustrated at the past. But honestly, there is nothing you can do anymore. Things already happened this way. You can't do anything to change what has already happened.

Life isn't about the past. It's about the present and the future. There isn't any point in looking back at the things that happened in the past and feel all sad and emotional about them. What's done is done. So just stop looking back and looking freaking forward. And hold on to the people who you know will be there for you as you move forward. Who will always be alongside you and support you and just give you strength when you need them. Treasure this people because they are all that it truly matters.
