stop and smell the flowers

Yesterday I experienced something that rarely happens in the present world, and it got me thinking. Everyone can get so caught up in self-pride and worldly labels that they lose the simple things that started them off int he first place. The simple things I'm talking about are things like passion, emotions, sensitivity... We were created to feel, to care, to love, to comfort. What happened? These are the walls and foundations of our lives, and I believe it does exist in everyone. I think that the reason why some of us have lost it is because of FEAR.I think that people have become afraid to feel. People have become so afraid of falling in love, feeling sad, crying, laughing, feeling mad, smiling. Why? Could it be the change in society? Could it be the constant pressure of maintaining one's reputation? Self-conciousness? But, what's wrong with being able to feel happy, what's wrong with feeling for someone? what's so wrong about making your own mistakes? I know I'm in no position to judge, and I'm not judging. All I'm saying is that I think, for some of us, it's about time we take a step back and allow ourselves to live the life that was created for us. I'm not saying that responsibilities should be tossed or anything like that. All I want is for people to feel and therefore, live.
Yes, you do get huge opportunities that come your way, and it is great! By all means, go for it! It's there, why not grab it. But dont miss out the little things that come your way. They may be small, and they might not even mean much at the time, but it's your response and attitude towards little things that matter. You can have tonnes of bricks and cement readily in front of you to build up your house, but if you're not gonna put in the work, how can you expect it to be the the home you've always dreamed of having. What's gonna happen if it comes crumbling down one day? What are you gonna be left with then?
Sorry about the glum. Yes, I realise that I might be completely wrong, I just got thinking and thought I'd share my views.You dont have to agree with anything I say at all. But it'd be interesting to know your views. :)

Have an awesome day ahead! Stop and smell the flowers:) as they say...
