In the Moment

Moments. Moments of love, moments of laughter, of tears, moments of anxiety and of anticipation, moments of weakness.
How the wisest of all tell us to to live for the moment, in the moment and do what we want to do when we want to. How wise is it though to actually always be impulsive and passionate enough to act impetuously? Well, for one, you would never have to live with ''what-ifs" your whole life if you decide to live like that. Imagine how life would be an adventure trip if you decide to always walk the path your heart directs you to. Every day would actually be a new day because as far as i know human wishing well goes to depths practically unknown and one can never guess whats thrown out of it if allowed. Life would never be monotonous again.
On the other hand, you might end up doing things that leave you regretful for sometime if not for the rest of your life. Moments that rest in your head as memories that make you wish you could go back in time and just be more stronger and wait for that stark urge to act right that minute, to pass. And sometimes you just want to go back wishing you could live those moments again. So, am not here to tell anyone whether you should be impulsive or not. Adventure or ordinary, thats for you to decide. There are these moments that come every once in a while in which how you act may define a significant portion of your life and no body, but you, should get the credit or blame for it to turn out the way it did.
Think about it though, do we actually live our own lives if we don't even do what we want to do. If we stop and think about it before acting, with all the wisdom imparted to us by the world. When we take people's opinions and start doubting our own wishes. Sort of makes us an instruction following dork, don't you think? Not that am telling you to never listen to anyone, all am asking is, how fair are we to our own selves if we lack confidence in our own will. 
I can't tell anyone how wise an idea it is to be impulsive. As far as I know it doesn't bring you all the happiness in the world, gift wrapped. Chances are that you will end up getting your ass kicked more often than not. But the upside is you get to live by your own rules (or may be no rules at all), you will be free to make your own mistakes (and learn from them). Of-course  you'll have times you will wish there was someone on whom you could shift the blames for what happens with you, times that will have you end up with regrets but then again times like these only make you stronger.
For some reason this reminds me of how all of us at some point of time have done some really crazy stuff at parties in that amazing state of drunkenness! Which also reminds me how most mornings after those awesome nights are not that delightful, are they now? Come to think of it, what do you think made those nights that amazing ? When drunk, we let ourselves off the leash and do exactly what we want to. No wisdom, no pretence. Now if only we start living our lives like that everyone's life would be one hell of a party! 
May be impulsive is not the way for all of us here but just for the sake of being fair to your own self don't base your decisions on what others have to say or what they think is right. Believe it or not we all have enough sanity to choose between wrong and not so wrong may be even right.
Ironically, I was not gonna write about how you should be crazy and not listen to anyone else and do what you want to do exactly when you want to do it, but i just remembered this quote i read somewhere that really stuck with me, it said ''We are here and this is now. Further than that all is moonshine". So since we anyway don't know what tomorrow has in store for us we might as well take our chances. Actually, if you are really certain about what it is that you want, never waste a second pondering over whats right and whats not. You know you might as well do it and regret doing it than regret not doing it at all, right?


O btw one of my friends asked me to write about healthy eating, ummmmm.......ya, try baked lays, they are crunchier!
