Time with yourself
Finally I get the meaning of it. It took me quite a while right mel. I thought that actively participating in activities, especially those which involve just me and myself are ways to spend time with myself. I was proven wrong today. Today, I've indeed spent time with myself, enjoying the serenity one quiet afternoon can provide. Appreciating simple things around me, things that I have not paid particularly close attention to in my last 23 years. Appreciating the tinkles of the wind chime under the comfort of the sofa. At the same time, easing one's soul by immersing oneself in the river of the soothing music. What a heaven! The two hours I had with myself this afternoon allowed me to find peace within, amidst all the buzz surrounding me 24/7. Ended off the wonderful afternoon by watching the movie - Flags of our Fathers.
Awesome movie i must say, directed by Clint Eastwood and produced by Steven Spielberg. It depicts how the US government used 'war heroes' as propaganda to lift the morale of the Americans, and raise funds for the war efforts. It also shares with us the effect of war on the veterans, and how they have suffered from the painful memories of the war.
Something that struck me hard was the heroes part. Heroes are created to instill faith and hope in people, and many of us will definitely like to be one. However, the overnight fame is like a fab/ novelty, it came and it went, as quickly as it possible could. And how many people will remember you after that? I've always wanted to become someone famous when I am much younger but I rather not be one now. Over the years, I come to understand that no one cares how much you know (or how famous you are) unless you show them how much you care. Forget about being famous, rather be someone that people will remember you for for you have impacted their lives, positively definitely. I will strive to achieve that.
Final Question: Just name 5 names right now. Are they names of famous people are are they names of people who have made a difference in your life? Will you like your name to be in there, in the case of someone elses' list?
