“Busy for living or busy for death?”

As I learned in Sociology today, life has different stages. We couldn’t be perfect in every stages, but we could continue to make up for the lack in previous stage. Even though we couldn’t stop the time, as long as we cherish time, we could slow down the steps that time made. But what is considered to be cherishing the time? Is your life cherished as long as others thought it to be perfect? Perhaps my mom had been too harsh on me, so I always wanted to do my best in order to reach my mom’s standards, even though I didn’t always agree with her. I had tried to please and satisfy others for a long time, but life is not doing other’s favor and winning other’s praise. If you gingerly follow the rules that others set for you, in the end you would not be yourself anymore. As Orson Welles said “we’re born alone; we live alone; we die alone; only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for a moment that we are not alone.” 
I once told my friend I felt guilty and regretted for something. I didn’t remember the exact event I was regretting about but I do remember his response. He said to me, “Don’t ever be guilty or regretted. Whatever you do is your choice.” When you reach your destination, don’t look back in anger and regret about the things you have done for your life.
Things are always easy to say but difficult to do, however, it’s crucial to notice the truth that you have to live your life for yourself.
“Busy for living or busy for death?”
I choose to get busy for living; I choose to enjoy my life. This is me.
