Social media has greatly changed our views of the humanity. Not only it brings us closer to the other part of the of world, it also helps update us to what is happening around the globe. Yes, it also have disadvantages but people will also agree with me that it also have some benefits for everyone. Social media like facebook, tweeter, instagram or youtube, widens our horizons, opening our eyes to the issues that affects humanity, challenges us do see different things in life and sometmes brings us inspiration wherein one can learn a life's lesson.I chance upon a video posted by a friend in Facebook, (one of popular social media of this generation aside from tweeter and instagram). Unluckily, I don't know if the link will work on my blog because it is not found in youtube. If not, well, I'll just describe what's in that video entitled "dance like nobody is watching," a grandmother around 65-70 of age dancing her heart out to the tune of rolling in the deep by Adele out on the street. Just like the title said, she dances like no one else is watching, and I realized one thing: I should have danced more in my 38 years of my life
.
In my life, I leave a little space for regrets. I firmly believe that things that I experienced and choices that I made were, at that moment, the best for me or what I though was the best for me. Though as I said, regrets has a little space in my heart, I still have those "I-should-have-done-that," momeints of my life.
I can't say that I love dancing but I can dance (according to my standard). But I cannot say that I am a great dancer, just a "so and so" dancer. In my memory, dancing is not an opportunity that I always grab unlike singing. Between dancing and singing, singing was the opportunity that was always given to me. But since I am timid and lacks confidence in what I do, I often sing when nobody is around. So singing (in front of other people) is also included in my "I-should-have-done-that." moment.
Laugh. I should have done this more often. When I was younger, I was not really a loner but I am more of a serious type of person. Friends (close friends) I rarely have them. You can count my friends in the fingers of my hand - my right hand or left hand alone. Since I can not laugh alone (for I don't want people to think that I'm crazy) and I don't go out as often as I could with my friends when I was younger, I rarely laugh too. I am a thoughtful person - meaning I like thinking a lot. I love to keep to my self. That's why I am secretive.But I laugh more now than before but still, I should have laughed more.
Write more. Listen to music more. Study more. Exercise more. Swim more. Travel more. Read more. Love more. Pray more. Play more. Build relationship more. Spend quality time with my husband and kids more often. Create more of happy memories. Take more photos. Socialize more Explore the other side of me more.
I should have done all these like nobody is watching.
But as I always say, as long as you're alive nothing is too late. So I will do just that. I will do all these because it is not too late. I will do all these "I-should-have-done-this," moment of mine to leave a lesser place for regrets in my heart.
