Present, the jovial labyrinth
Yesterday is a history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift, that is why it is called ‘present’. –Life quote

Everyone walks from their past. We are shaped by our times. Whether the memories are sweet, poignant, bitter or blissful, and these memories are the paints that make up the colours of the book. Nevertheless, we should not be tied up in the past. Past makes us learn and grow, allowing us to accept the coming chapters with more maturity. Slowly and gradually, we walk till the other chapter of our life, the present.

From my vantage point, the best time for me to live in is, undoubtedly, the present. I strive for the very best in everything now, ranging from my academic, my family, my future career until my love life, so that I will not regret in the future. Individuals act in every present, even when all they do is persist. There are no moments when they are paused and time is either stopped or the only thing that moves. We should appreciate what we are having now. Present is the only route to our future and our past is the sole path of making our present. That is why I think living in the present time is the best time for me.

Only in the present I can have my decisions made on my very ownself. In the past, parents would do any decisions for their children which they thought would be the best for their children, including their marriage. But now, utmost freedom has been given by the parents to the children. They can choose which pathway they want to lead, including me. My future is in my hands. It is whether I ruin it or I live it to the fullest. I have chosen the second option. God has gifted me determination and I am very grateful about it. Architecture, the career I have chosen. The only pathway towards successful future is through diligent present. I want to shape and own my own life. I do not want to let my parents down. No one can predict what is going to happen in the future but one can expect what will happen in his or her future through the way they live their lives. What we aim in the past is what we work in the present and what we achieve in the future. I am studying very hard for my future career because I know endeavour is the only ingredient towards a bright future.

Moreover, the present is vital to me because I get to know a bunch of truthful and sincere friends. I do not know who am I going to meet in the future and I am not bothered who have I met in the past, I just know I will certainly treasure who I am having now as a friend. Everyone needs friends. They give you encouragement during your hardship; they savour and cherish your best moments in life together; they are by your side during your sombre period. Friends are like family members who do not have blood relation. They help me a lot in my life. They continuous support has allowed me to walk this far. I am very grateful now for having them as my intimate friends. Fate has destined and assigned them into my life among billions of people in this universe. This is the biggest miracle that has ever happened to me, and it is truly magical. I really sincerely hope that they can colour my chapters of life with a rainbow of colours.

Within the present, then, constituting the present, individuals act and time passes. If individuals do not take hold of passing and freshly present time they would not remain present. They would pass away and become past. Present is, after all, the most essential time for me to live in. Present is like a labyrinth. We need to involve ourselves in it in order to find a way out. We cannot just sitting aside without doing anything and hoping we can get out of it. Present is meant to be solved and understood. Present will prepare us towards the pathway of brightness. I am living in the present because I want to understand my life. I want to savour the content of my present so that I will not regret in the future. I do not remember the past because it is already a memory; I do not predict the future because it is a mystery; but I unwrap the present because it is a gift!
