A Fragile Life

Life is so fragile.. And it took me this long to grapple with the concept of our mortality. We do not live forever but still, we go on with our daily lives as if we do, as if the thought of death never entered our minds. And only when we’ve come face to face with it are we struck by that sudden moment of realisation. That no matter how much we try to prolong our existence in this world, one day we’d still have to leave, and it’d be too sudden, too without notice, with a heart still full of ambitions, things to see and many people we have yet to love… With today’s advancements in technology, we’re given an illusion of immortality, that we could fight death.. when in fact, these are things we simply cannot avoid, that cannot be controlled and it’s not something we could embrace easily either. This could sound cliche but the only thing we can do is live each day to the fullest, because we never really know when it would be our last.
