Look back on your life, while I look back on mine
When you look at yourself in the mirror, have you ever asked yourself about the "What Ifs" in your life?
There are many things I haven't figured out yet
Many things I regret doing
Many things I regret not doing
Many things I want an answer to
Somtimes, questions aren't meant to be answered
Sometimes, they're answered in unorthodox ways
Like dreams, sometimes, they are answered in dreams
Sometimes questions you don't even know existed are answered in your dreams
But sometimes, they're messages
Sometimes you're put in a situation you felt was absolutely real in your dream, so that you would learn the answer to those questions left unanswered
In my life, I've cried in my dreams while unknowingly crying physically twice in my life
The first one was the day the Earth was going to end
Hari Kiamat
I really felt that it was THAT day as I was put into that situation in my dream
You won't know it was a dream, but I can remember all the panicking back then
How I begged for my parents' forgiveness while crying profusely
I really felt that I have sinned many times in my life and that all those sins are going to come back to haunt me in that dream
People will only learn their lesson if they are put in that situation when they would stand to lose everything they stood for
When I woke up from that dream, I cried for 10 minutes after that
I wanted to burst into my mother's room and beg for her forgiveness while crying on her shoulders
But I didn't coz it's gonna be real weird
But that really taught me one thing
-APPRECIATE YOUR PARENTS-

The second dream, the more recent one, was weirder
I can't remember the facts right coz sometimes I dream stuff that doesn't make sense
But there was a war going on
I don't remember who I stood for, and who I was fighting, but I know that one of my good friends died in that war
Killed, murdered
That friend is a real live person, and I won't mention his name for personal reasons
But I really felt that I lost a friend forever without mentioning goodbye
I felt that I lost a great friend who was always there for me at times of need
And I remembered that in that dream, when the war was over, school resumed as normal
And when I went to school, I realised that the school was one schoolmate short
And I was crying in front of the whole school over that loss
There were many stuff which I didn't tell him, many things which I didn't do with him, but I really felt that I won't ever get the chance again
When I woke up, I cried again, and I was appreciative that I had a chance to 'tell him those stuff' and 'do with him those stuff'
But I learnt one thing
-APPRECIATE YOUR FRIENDS-

I consider myself lucky that I went through these two dreams, coz they're gonna mould the future
People don't appreciate things when they're there but they would do anything and give anything to right their wrongs when they're gone
I guess humans are like that
But what I have to say is, appreciate the 2 people who gave life to you and the few people who give your life meaning before they're gone =D
