Luck in Life

I could have gone. I could have made it permanent. I could have jumped on the bandwagon like so many others before me. I could have been the envy of others. I could have earned in the currency of the stars.  I could have ventured out over to the other side where things are done a notch differently. I could  have just run with what I was given, which required me to open my eyes wider. I coulld have communicated a little more with my peers and tried to wrenchtheir secret   plans for their respective futures so that I could start plotting my own. I could have made my own luck instead of trying to let luck find me. For now, I live with regrets of the many perks that come we with life over there. For now, I am happy with the mass of memories collected over my undergraduate years. Too bad it was short but I know I made it the best years of my life in many ways. But all is not lost like in the Coldplay – life still beckons as I can feel it rushing  through my veins. The past is past. It was great while it lasted but I need to start living in the present.
