Dear Diary,


Today, after a long time, may be in years, I sat and watched moonlight, carelessly. Reminded me of my childhood, when I used to daydream in moonlight, carelessly.

Those were good times. Just like today.

I used to stay awake till late night just so that I wouldn't lose any second of the calming feeling of being in the moonlight. 

I slept only when the moonlight was completely gone from the window.


It's been years and moonlight still gives me calming feelings.


Random thought- sometimes I think, if I had a time machine, what would I do? Would I ever go back in time to change anything? I think I might not even use it once. Everything that has ever happened in my life, has made me what and how I am today. I wouldn't want it any other way. 


I should travel often. I don't know why I don't go to places every year. May be I should plan something for 2022.  


Anyways, Life is beautiful as is.

Correct. You've only one life to live, and future is never certain, you never truly know what may or may not happen the very next day, that's why we should not putt off the things we've got to do today, and we should always do them, because if we don't do them and we putt them off, the answer to that is clear as day, the more we putt them off, the easier we forget about them, and we end up regretting them even in not so distant future, or actually in distant future, or actually even much later in our lives. Blessings

You only live once why make decisions that lead you to have regrets. Death is unpredictable and Regrets on deathbed is like not fulfilling the purpose of life.

Daily QuotesDec 19, 2021

When you grow older you realize of all the mistakes you've done in the past, mistakes you can not correct anymore, mistakes that have influenced your life in one way or another, and your mind is filled with regrets of the things you've never done, you've never tried, and you've never acted upon. That's why we should all learn from our mistakes and correct them while there's still time and that's why we should all avoid regret in later years of our lives, by doing things at this very moment. As you grow older you grow wiser and as you grow older you become more knowledgeable for you don't just grow yourself as a human being, but you also grow your very own awareness and your very own perception of life. So naturally, when a young child comes, your grandson or your granddaughter, you don't want them to have regretful kind of life, you want them to have regret-free kind of life, and you don't want them to make the same mistakes you've done. You teach them life-changing lessons you've learned through the course of your entire life, in hopes they are going to remember them and one day when time is going to arrive for them to apply them, apply them to their lives. When I wrote them I didn't mean that as a message to my younger self, what I meant was as words of encouragement my younger self needed at that time to push forward, to pull through, and to truly strive for something much better, something he knew right then he had to achieve and he had to do. All he needed to do right then is to find something he'd love doing them most. And he found it.

Its a good thought but its not unique that something only you would tell yourself. Our elders teach us this very thing. My elders tought me the same. But i was a kid, never listened to anyone but me. If i go back and tell this to my kid version, he would shrug me off fosho. The reality is that I am very independent, i always have been. I like to think through my situation which teaches me with experiences. I wouldnt want to become an astrologer for myself.

Really? Cause I'd immediately take advantage of that kind of opportunity and be like, Hey kiddo, listen to me, life is full of ups and life is full of downs, life is full of the happiest moments and life is full of the saddest moments, nothing is ever going to hit you as hard as life, but nothing is also ever going to reward you as much as life. We both know that the path you've chosen in the past led you nowhere in life and it brought nothing but pain, misery, suffering, and hardship, and that right now you are on the right path, path you've always been destined to walk on. Don't ever lose sight of it no matter how hard it gets, because we both know what awaits you in the end, something that's a lot bigger and a lot more powerful than your dream, any dream you've ever had, a chance, an opportunity, and possibility not just to make something of yourself, of the ones you love, but also of the world. You still remember what you've been told by the person you admire the most, so keep living with that wisdom and keep living with that knowledge, and one day you're going to make it in your life, win that race and win that game you've been told about. You can do this, kiddo, I know that you can. The world is yours.

I probably wouldn't want to meet myself. But If i did go back, ill probably spend time visiting places and how there were in the past. If I had to meet, ill probably say 'hey whats up'

But if you really had one and you actually travelled back in time, what would you say to your younger self as your older self upon your first meeting? Just curious . ( :
