Sip, instead of gulp…
Browsing, instead of
reading…
Just a glance, and not
looking intently…
Just touching the water,
and not plunging…
Humming, instead of
singing…
Cheese, instead of double
cheese...
Fingertips, and not the
entire hand…
Clear, instead of colored
polish…
Drizzle, instead of rain…
Thin crust, instead of thick...
Cologne, instead of
perfume…
Asking for the price, but
not buying…
Mild, instead of strong…
Matte, instead of glossy…
Silver, instead of gold…
Seldom, not always…
Plain salted, not spicy…
Diet, instead of regular…
Clear, and not tinted…
Unscented, instead of scented
Offline, instead of online…
Brown, instead of blonde…
A pint, in place of a
gallon…
A sedan, in place of an
SUV…
Cornetto, instead of
Magnum…
Keds, instead of
Louboutin….
Fries, and not wedges
Taped, and not live…
Bridesmaid, never the
bride…
Goodbye, instead of hello...
So what is holding you
back? Time and again, we are reminded by folks that life is too short, and that
each one of us is given only one life to cherish. Our fears and doubts must not
dissuade us from doing things that will make us happy, and should not cast shadows
on our lives. Otherwise, a vault of regrets might float up in our lives later
on. A word of caution though: if things
did not make the grade, then we must learn to be accepting of things. Life,
after all, isn’t always a bed of roses. If things did not turn out the way you
envisioned them in your dreams, then remind yourself that there are things that
are simply not meant to be.
So go on with life...
Do what makes you happy...
Do not hold back this time...
~o0o~
