Confessions of My Oversights
I am blessed to live a full 32 years of life on the surface of the planet earth. Though not on some developed countries or the most beautiful of places, but I have had my share of beauty and blessings between two countries Afghanistan and Pakistan, and two cities, Quetta and Islamabad.
I am an introvert by choice, not by any medical conditions or social pressure. I have always liked to be alone doing my things without being interrupted for hours, days and months. Urgent matters aside, as they need urgent attention. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be called urgent.
One of the past days, I was pondering on all the important periods of my life. Those that contributed to shape my life for better and also those that were responsible to shape my life for worse. All of them have one thing in common, they prepare you for the future. And you can always learn from them if you happen to give it a visit, with an open mind and a digesting appetite for wisdom.
I realized that 32 years of life, minus the years of one’s inability to perceive anything, is indeed a very long period if it is focused on a specific purpose. The fact that I could have mastered any principle of life in this period if and only if I had not juggled between which one to choose for life really puts me in state of wonder and awe.
I can only imagine about all that I could have done, and all that I could have become. Those years spent with a sense of purpose, and a clear sitemap of a destination could unfold a world of possibilities.
For me, it is an opportunity wasted. However, I thought I should not let this go without extracting the last drop of oil out of it. So, I confess all the mistakes, blunders and oversights I have committed during a lifetime.
