"Have you ever been told that new is always better than old?"
I have always wondered about that. Maybe the answer depends in the right moment you're asking.
I will explain this by saying that of course I love my old friends, I miss my old life, I am an eternal fan of old movies, I used to read good old books, I remember old lovers, I still listen to that great old songs that changed my life, I enjoy to tell old fun stories about my childhood or adolescence and
as a matter of fact sooner or later like in fashion cases, old stuff mode returns and turn into the actual new style again.
There's always something really damn good in OLD because previously it used to be NEW. So like the moon and the sun this day night status will be forever in our hearts and minds.
Yesterday- Old news, TODAY- The middle of above and Tomorrow- New fresh stuff. The thing is that sometimes we forget what we are living NOW because we're so busy still living in the past. The past is something that we can't change and we should always move on, but WHEN?
We spend too much time thinking about what happened before that we actually let go new opportunities. I am not saying that we should all get amnesia and live like we don't remember anything we've lived before because that will be like lying to ourselves and LIVING a LIE is such an awful way to DIE! And a total WASTE of our valuable TIME!
The beauty of making new choices and making new experiences and memories for tomorrow is that like an OLD foreign friend told me before when I asked him if he liked more his actual school than his old school in his natal country.
I still remember that he just turned back to me and after giving me that genius Einstein bright look and a pretty innocent smile like when you are talking to a child, then he answered me that he actually was really enjoying then his time learning English.
I was so confused by his answer because I knew how much he missed his old friends, old life, old familiar memories and old spend times. So I wondered why and asked him again to make sure I understand clearly his point.
- BUT WHY?
Then he just looked back to me and laugh and said this wise short phrase that I'll keep with me forever and always:
"Because NEW is ALWAYS better!"
For a few time, I just didn't get it. The real meaning behind that phrase. But TODAY I think I finally get it. What he was referring was that even of the scary mystery that NEW could bring or sound like because you don't really know what is going to happen... Unless you've got magic powers and could know the future, that I am pretty sure most of us don't. You have to take the risks that brings daily life or you'll miss ALL the FUN!
Of course at the beginning you've like a million doubts against your will. What if? And ALL the WORST luck of the world accidents and mistakes that may or not happen are the first thoughts that cross your mind.
Just THINK about it! What if that famous phrase : "BREAK A LEG" come true! You finally say yes and go to that random trip with your friends or coworkers and you actually do break a leg? WHAT? In the middle of the jungle? or if you go to your first real job interview and they reject you in your face! or if you go to a blind date and the hot guy turned to be a junk guy or if he thinks you're just not too smart or funny enough to hang out with?
-WHAT IF E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G goes WRONG? But WHAT IF EVERYTHING goes R-I-G-H-T?
The important decision here is... if you never do or go, if you never try... YOU WILL NEVER KNOW what could have happened or will happen!
You will NEVER live. You will be just locked out in your home alone but life honey, life is OUTSIDE the door, OUT of your comfort zone and is like a bus that just arrived to be taken! But possibilities never stop to wait for you, if you don't run, never wonder why it didn't stop to wait for you... Even dough don't worry there's a bus passing by every 15 minutes but is never the same bus or the same people that were in the previous one.
I know is hard to think that everything changes, that you can't stop the clocks! That's why if you aren't getting younger you better hurry up to start living so when you get older you have LIVED ENOUGH to DIE with JOY and GLORY!
Anyway! TRY again! LIVE again! LAUGH again! DANCE again! LOVE again! TRAVEL again! DO WHATEVER you want that's healthy and legal! Doesn't matter what others think about you! GOD and yourself are the only two judges that do matter to worry about!
Is never too late until you're still breathing oxygen! LIVE TODAY, DO NOW AND ENJOY IT FOREVER!
You don't have too much time to waste, regret later maybe after death but who cares? We have ONLY ONE life. One shot to be Happy! Decide to be happy NOW! Because you don't know if tomorrow you'll be dead!
My best advice is: "LIVE T-O-D-A-Y like there's No Tomorrow!
