There's this person now
But after a moment something happens,
And he's gone
I mean gone for always, he's dead.
It sounds and feels so strange,
It takes more than nine months to get a life, to be born
But it just takes moments to be gone forever.
We're here together now
Talking to each other, doing our own stuffs
But who knows for how long we're here
May be I'll be gone after a few moments,
Or you'll be gone
It sounds so simple yet it's so complicated

We humans for this unpredictable life,
Try to make things better every moment,
Try to please people around us,
Try to make our loved ones happy,
Try to be happy in our loved ones happiness
And in all this we're lost
We lose ourselves, our self-respect, our self-esteem
More importantly we forget to love ourselves

But why all these?
Why all these things if we all have to be gone,
It's just a matter of time when one person,
That is present now will be gone once and for all.

So let's just not complicate this life more.
Let's just live and enjoy the present to it's fullest.
Neither let your past drag you down nor your future
Just be in the present moment and try to live in it
Love yourself more than anything else
Take care of yourself
That's needed most because at the end of the day
The bitter truth is you were born alone and will die alone
It'll just be the moments and memories of your life that you'll take with you.
My own life experience
