Writers really know how to make a reader to continuously engage on a good book or e-book has today’s high tech provides access to paperless books but to be honest, nothing can beat the smell of books accompanied with a cup of hot coffee. So what I’m trying to emphasize here? It’s about the chapters in the book. One has to read through so many chapters to reach the part where the guy confesses to the girl and whenever we want to put a stop to the reading it just can’t since there’ll always be a twist or turning point at the end of the chapter.
Chapters can be very much related to our life actually because a book is pretty much similar to each year where we get older. Let’s say, per year includes to 12 chapters and I’m pretty sure at least once or more than that we would just want to fast forward time and look what awaits us. But won’t life be boring if everything is told in advance? So, ultimately there’ll be a twist at the end of every chapter which makes us anticipated to move on to the next one. At the end of the year, there’ll be a book with the specific year on it and to be honest no one even wants to take another glance of that book and it’ll be hidden in the deepest valley (if the ratio of happiness to bitter is not 1:1). Then one day, you’ll start to look back at the dusted book with a smile and it might even turn out to be an interesting story to your kids or grandchildren. Each chapter will hold so much of lessons and values.
In the present moment the chapters get neglected with the continuous negative aura we will be pouring and only to value it when it’s in the past. Why so? It’s because we are humans and it’s never easy to accept imperfection. We want everything to be right. Ok, so ask yourself these questions.
When coffee gets spilled the stain will be there. Will you remember the stain and mentally condemn it or remember who did it to you fondly?
Will you remember the tiring walk with someone even though you know you can commute to that place or all the stories shared throughout the journey?
Will you remember the jokes you shared or your insanity at that time?
In the name of avoiding sugar you have a taste of the bitter coffee but do you remember the taste of it or look at the photo that your friend took which portrays your disgusting face and laugh together?
All of these answers depend on which angle you’re seeing yourself. A cream at the side of your lips can be an embarrassing moment or a laughter that is shared as a result of your clumsiness. Little things or details are the key points of every chapter. So treasure or better said savor each moment because there is never a promise of permanent or forever. Promises are meant to break by certain unpredictable choices as well as situations so make the best our every chapter and it all starts from NOW. I still remember the one shot I got go for my Uni intake or back off and sail towards another journey. Distance is one matter but another matter is if I miss this chance there’ll never be a better chance to learn survival. So here am I with the rest, ready to face the real world. 4 years just flew and let’s be honest at the end of the journey only I was thankful for the decision I made earlier till that there was this intense feeling to go back home. 😁
Value is a very hard word to define when it’s with us but when it starts to move away then we will start to hold on to it like it’s our dear life. Rarely, we think wisely at that moment and react to it. It takes ample of lessons through experiences and the ability to control our emotions in the name of patience; this is called maturity. Maturity grows by the increase in age and depends on how far we are moving forward whereby then we can be judged based on how we express our emotions while others think it as a huge task. Each good chapter is a result of mistakes, compromises, bitter incidents and a little bit of smile here and there. Now, how to value even the bitter memories because when we think about it it’ll only make us cry? Value the tears but not the stain it caused on your cloth as well as the mascara smudge it leaves behind. Let it only be a reason to be stronger and bolder and that’s how you grow with valuing each chapter.
Next, never forget to add some spice to life in the form of adventures and excitement. The essence of life is not only about survival, but ready to take a plunge whenever you spot fun around the corner and the best things are actually the last minute trips or outing. My friends over here in campus wanted to go on a trip with all of us being present. It was a last minute thing with a plain old hiking and hitting the sea like nature lovers instead of going to an amusement park and scream with excitement. A simple trip yet holds each person’s care and love towards each other to initiate an everlasting bond through a memory and until now it’ll be regarded as the best. Sometimes give away yourself to the freedom that sometimes you resist fearing that the soup will be over flavored. Gear up for some fun always!

Let time take its course because sometimes planning things out doesn’t really work. Once when I went out with my friend, I came with an idea where to eat and spend time but my friend was the opposite. My friend agreed to stick up with the plan, but then I realized where the fun is when everything is organized? So, both of us went to the floor map searched for a shop which matched our likes and fulfilled our cravings. Parents usually would have visualized our future and like in the movies they would be announcing that an engineer or doctor is born. Most of the pathways take a detour and ends up in something better actually and since it didn’t meet their expectation literally disappointment takes a toll, way before realization and appreciation. Never let acquisition or blame be a huge part of a plan or else an optimistic review of the plan cannot be done.
Besides that, each ticking of the time is precious. Time waits for no one and certainly finding the right time is not going to happen. Time is only divided into 3 which are past, present and future. The present is a result of the past and is the hope for the future. However, we humans lose focus on the present and focus on the part which we don’t hold control over time. We always keep on reaching for something that cannot be mended and eventually we end up missing a chapter. Let each second contribute to your chapter of life and enhance it with positive vibes and never take even a few minutes for granted. I use to talk with my friend when I was extremely down and it’s merely a half an hour talk, then we are back to our rooms occupying ourselves with a load of assignments. But even those 30 minutes was worth it and it will hold a special place in my life book. Other than that, there was also ice cream time. 😋
Therefore, create beautiful chapters in your life and never be hesitant to look back at it. Beauty comes with patience and turning the negative into positive. Sometimes let the chapters unfold itself while sometimes create your own chapter. There’s a huge difference between waiting and creating. Both cause emotional turmoil but waiting is judged based on fate while creating is based on you. Reliance on faith will be always be put to test and remember what’s rightfully yours will always find its way back to you. So ready to write your chapter?
