WHTFAUD

"What The Fuck Are yoU Doing?"

Have you ever stopped short while doing something and shouted this to yourself? Maybe as you absent-mindedly washed the dishes or walked on your way home. You never really mean what you were instantaneously doing. But there was this sudden idea that has popped into your mind. No it wasn't in fact sudden. It has been there for days, months, or maybe years. And this was the moment you let it go. It was your awakening cry. You remembered what you once  dreamt to be. You visualized yourself somewhere else, or with someone else or doing something else.

We so many times wish to shout at ourselved this WHTFAUD? To wake ourselves to what we've been immersed in for maybe months or even years. Life is too short to spend it on things you really don't mean or care for. We burden ourselves with responsibility that don't exist, with the responsibility of everyday, of living everyday and doing what we have always done. Why is change so scary? Why is the unknown always worse can't we ever see it as better. 

"Inertia, the tendency of a body to keep its state.", a definition from science class. We took it in 5th or 6th grade, I am not sure. However, it always comes to my mind when I think of my life. In our country, we have an old arabic saying, "What I know is better that what I don't know". It all sums up to chaining us to our places, our environments and where we started.

But all this is not a reason to stay where you are. "Wake up, it's your life. WTFAUD wasting it like this?!"

I know that there is nothing certain, and there is no assurance that change will be the best but this applies to the present state too. There is no assurance that it is the best. And for sure, what I know is never guaranteed to be better than what I don't know. 

If you have a dream, why stop short? Why sit at home cursing circumstances for not helping you? Go out and pursue your dream. Reaching is not the real award but travelling, walking towards your destiny is what you really gain. The knowledge and experience you gain, will make you someone better even if the end did't turn out as glamorous as it once used to seem. You know why? Because by then you' ll have it in your hands.

We have to walk our way, embrace change as a normal outcome of living a healthy life and developing as we grow. Enjoy the travel, the walk however difficult. Thus, lets all start with shouting at ourselves today 'WTFAUD'

This is what jwoman has to say for today.
