I can’t count the number of times that I wished I could have changed something. An “if” or a “but” if you please. Sometimes , I wish I had a real ‘undo’ button in my life that I could use generously and roll back life a little bit. I think each and every one of us, have wished for this possibility.
If only I hadn’t given him my number, if only I had kept my mouth shut, If only he/she was single! if only I could run him over with my car!!
The buts are no different, the buts too sometimes give us a pain in the ‘butt’. “I tried to steer clear of the “bandha”, ‘but’ he hit me anyway!”, “I thought he was a nice guy, ‘but’ he turned out to be a pain in the ‘butt’!”
However, life had another plan, and now if we sit back and analyze, what it could be if the “if’s” and ”but’s” actually came alive? How life would have been if these could come true?
BUSH –“DAMN! If only we had invaded Amsterdam instead, I could have at least smoked a couple of J’s”.
RUPUNZEL-“if only I had shorter hair, charming would use the stairs instead!”
Yet life’s not been so bad after all, sometimes it’s best that those if’s and but’s didn’t do their magic, it did make me upset for a while, but also gave me things to look forward to. So when you set your goal, regardless of all obstacles, if a mountain comes in your path, go around the mountain and achieve your goal[don’t ask me if your goal is to climb that mountain].
Finally in the end, “what cannot be helped must be endured”. In life, the candies and nuts makes us feel a little closer to Christmas which sooner or later arrives with the same candies and nuts.
