Heavy World

When you are out somewhere public, like in campus, by the streets,
in the shopping malls, or wherever and watch the vast numbers of
daily strangers that pass by, do you ever feel curious about their
stories? Well, lets take a look from this point of view. Everyone has
their own story about their life, nobody's life is ever boring or dull,
everyone has been through life experiences and have their own
stories to either tell or keep it to themselves.

For instance, you see an old frail woman by the market side, do you
ever wonder what's her story? What someone as old as her has been
through, the amount of happy times she had, the amount of heartbreaks
she went through, the amount of people she met, the amount of people
she has lost, the change she saw through time, the experience she had
with someone special or the time she spent alone and much much more.
Sometimes I feel this way whenever I see my grandma. Of course my
grandma wasnt always my grandma, she used to be a teenager too. She
might have been through the things Ive went through before, she might
have deep dark secrets as well like everyone else.

Ever wondered what someone's story is like? People like our friends,
our parents, our lecturers, the guy who delivers your newspaper, the
guy who owns your favourite restaurant, your maid and people who
we see everyday but never took notice of. Everyone has their own
story, experiences and secrets. I believe if you walk down the
crowded street and just pick a random stranger out of a crowd and
get him or her to tell you their life story. Im sure it will definitely
beat any drama movie you have ever watched. Regardless of how
boring the person's job is or how mundane his life is, there was a point
in that person's life that he actually went through something great
or sad.

By now you're probably wondering why Im writing all this bullshit
out. What Im trying to say is, try looking at your own life story. Reflect
on what you have been through and you would realise that life is great
isnt it? Try looking digging through your memory and bring out all the
life stories you had. It wont apply for everyone because they might have
a bad past, but look at the present, isnt the future beautiful? Even at my age
I will probably be able to tell you loads of stories, the happy times Ive been
through, the sad times Ive been through, interesting things that happened
to me, people who I have met, the amount of times Ive felt love, the amount
of times Ive been through heartache and the list goes on. My point is, if you
think your life is boring now just wait and see, more stories will come your
way.
