I woke up today and found that it was raining heavily outside. It was so cold that i was being very lazy sneaking up and down on my own bed. As a growing up teen, it has been becoming my habit seeing the world in twitter to start the day. Then there they were, on my timeline, cursing and hoping for the rain to stop. Yeah, a lot have said, and I could do nothing but agree, that rain can be a wall that ban people from doing their activities. Rain forces people to stay home or keeps people at any places from coming home. It forces people to watch, to see its beauty, and also the beauty of life. At the time people can not go anywhere nor do anything, they are forced to think, to brood over their life that actually has a lot of beautiful and inspiring story. Now, at half past seven in the morning, here i am, looking at the rain and feeling its sound, thinking about destiny and future, and life.
A piece of story that "forces" me to think about destiny comes from a plot in a movie. Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind. It is a story of a couple that undergo a procedure to erase the memory blah blah and blah. A very long and complex story actually-- you should watch that movie anyway (recommended)-- but refer to one big point, that soul mates, is destiny. No matter how hard people try to avoid, erase, run, or deny their mates, it will always come to them. Destiny will work in the way we do not understand to keep people on the way they should be, with the person they should be with, and on the places the should be.
Social network is the next thing that bring me another story inspires about future. There is this friend of mine, tweeted few days ago about future: No matter how uncertain future might seems, what belongs to you, comes to you. At the present days, every time i study at school, I am worrying about my future. Most of my friend have chosen the faculty they want, the job they want to take, or simply the future they want. I am the only one among them who still does not even know what to choose yet. As the system of universities in Indonesia is based on score, I am also worrying about my score. From the first grade of senior high school, my score has been decreasing fast like it jump from the highest cliff to its bottom. However, after reading that tweet, I feel like a stupid person, worrying about something I do not even know yet. Yeah it real, what belongs to you will come to you. As long as you work as hardest as you can, the future will be magical, in its own way.
So, life is not that complex. It is simply just today, yesterday, and tomorrow. Most of people are afraid of tomorrow. People get stressed, depressed, and tired in their days worrying about their tomorrow. They forget that the most important time in life is today. Future has its own surprise for people, a big big surprise. It is the best to color the day with the excitement to know what surprise the future might be giving us tomorrow.
At the end of story, I can still hear the sound of the rain tapping the roof, and the window. While it was raining, I was stuck and not able to go anywhere but here, at home, thinking about life, its beauty. Rain gives you room to think, about life, the greatest narrative ever. Be in that room and think. I have done that and this is my story. What's yours?
