“You should always leave love ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.”

One of my favorite mottos is Carpe Diem, Vita Brevis Est. It is a Latin statement which means Seize the Day, Life is Brief. A philosopher once stated that always live your day as if it will be your last. Such a momentous statement! And I believe that everyday, our love ones need our caress, our sweetness and an assurance that they will always stay inside our heart no matter what happens.

Life is really short. Some people never realize the vulnerability and sacredness of each morning that we wake up. Some people would drag themselves to the darkest sins of indifference and apathy without realizing that their lives are capsulated in a time bottle or in an hour glass.

Love and live as if it were the only things that matter in this world. We should shout out our heart every time we have the chance to express what we feel. We must embrace our love ones as if it would be the last chance to touch them. They deserve our every expressions of love. It would be best if we tell those people we care so much that we love them while they can still hear the words “I love you” than shower them with loads of flowers and rivers of tears and regret when they are already dead.

Every day should be the happy ending that every fairy tale is promising its readers. Every day should be the most wonderful day of our lives. There should be no room for insensitivity, regrets and apathy.

Love is so broad and abstract that it needs a thousand ways to be expressed yet it is so deep that it only needs to be uttered with much sincerity to be felt forever. Simple things from the heart count most. We need not buy the most expensive gems or minerals in order for our loved ones to feel that they are special.

Yet at every story, there is a final chapter or perhaps, a conclusion to the whole book. But as we go along the pages, what matters is how much we pour out our hearts to those people who badly needed even the remotest expression of love.

I hate goodbyes! But if one day, my loved ones would need to leave me, I won’t have a single regret of not letting them feel how much my life has changed simply because they exist.

Carpe Diem, Vita Brevis est. Yes, life is short, but we can make it whole and eternal.
