english,
Hello! I can’t believe I am doing this. But here I am, writing a eulogy for myself. I am from the past, and you guys attending my funeral—my family, friends, classmates, teachers, and maybe some people that I didn’t even think would come—are basically in the future. I am writing this, not to make you feel sad or scared, but rather to make you feel inspired and alive by enjoying every moment in the present :) Instead of talking about myself and bragging about all of my accomplishments, I will be sharing a few things I always keep in mind to make sure I savor every minute of every day, so you can, too! You don’t have to agree with me, but I will very much appreciate it if you tune in.
Now, let’s get straight to the point!
I do not care about what other people think of me or what they say about me. I do not listen to unnecessary opinions and negative comments about me, and even if I did, I do not let these affect me. Tomorrow is not promised. So, with that in mind, I do the things that make me happy. People will always have something to say, so you might as well do what you want, right? (Except for illegal things, of course.)
Having this mindset makes me feel like a bird set free from its cage! I am able to enjoy life more! So, if you want to dance in public, do it! If you want to sing along with the music on the bus, do it! If you want to wear pajamas to the mall, why not? Don’t be embarrassed, it’s not like anyone will remember this for the rest of their lives. In fact, nobody cares! As long as you are not hurting anybody, don’t be afraid to express yourself. Believe it or not, people are too busy focusing on their own lives. They are not thinking about you, and if they are—well, you have just won because you are living in their mind, rent-free.
In case you didn’t know, I am a dreamer. I have countless goals in my life that I want to achieve and the only thing that is stopping me from succeeding, is me. Our biggest enemy is ourselves. Do not let your fear and self-doubt take those opportunities away from you. If you are afraid of doing something, then just do it with fear! I know it is not as easy as it sounds and it comes with a lot of pressure, but this is your big break to show your abilities and shine. The first few steps might be a rocky road, but I am here to tell you that it is okay to make mistakes—as in, a LOT of mistakes, especially while you’re still young. These are experiences and lessons that will help you grow as a person. So in the future, you already know what to do or what to avoid, and you won’t make the same mistakes as you did in your youthful days.
You don’t have to accept these opportunities immediately, but keep in mind that life is too short to not take chances. You might regret not seizing them later in life!
Perhaps you'll disagree with me on this, but take that risk. This can apply to different situations. Now, I know what some of you are thinking—you’re thinking about your crush, aren’t you? You are contemplating whether to tell them how you feel or not. Every decision you make could either be good or bad. You’ll never know… just as you’ll never know if that person feels the same way about you if you don’t tell them. I know that it will hurt if you get rejected, but there is so much more to life than that person. It’s either you regret confessing because your feelings weren’t returned, or you regret not confessing when they actually like you back and since you did not take the risk, you lost the chance to be together. Tell me, which hurts more?
Now, I’d better keep this short since I don’t want you guys to fall asleep. Haha! I may not be able to give you advice about everything, but that’s okay, because life is for you to experience and figure out on your own ;)
I may be gone now, but I am still with you, in your heart. My life is not perfect and I am certainly not as well, but we can always try to be the best versions of ourselves. Every sorrow, every glee, every tear, every laugh, every mistake, every triumph, every up and every down—they are all part of life. Cherish these moments. Time doesn’t stop. So tell your loved ones you love them, apologize to the people you’ve hurt, fix or let go of relationships, smile at strangers—and most importantly, love yourself.
Know that I am grateful to each and every one of you. You all hold a special place in my heart. I don’t want this moment to end yet, but It’s time to say goodbye. I love you all. Thank you.
