Six years ago, when drifting was the order of day, you should have seen me, never hesitating to hit that gear from 3rd through 4th to 5th, just to see how far I could push this golf GTI to it limit, never taking my eyes off the road, stealing glances at the speedo meter with the aim of hitting that 180 kilometer per hour mark. Hands so glued to the wheel, ears so attentive I could even hear the ticking sound of my wrist watch. That was how far I was willing to go, just to a win a race for fun. 2 years down the line, as growing lads, we use to hold our breathes under water for seconds, just to see who will come out victorious, in terms of how long one could stay under water. We could have done otherwise, but at that moment, we never saw ourselves doing anything else. Life, they say is short, yet it presents us with millions of choices. You could choose to fall in love or fall in hate, get inspired or be depressed, work smartly or work hard, ace a test or flunk a class, be in the club or be in the church, make babies or make art, speak the truth or lie and cheat, be the developer or be the tester, dance on tables or sit in the corner with a straight face, get paid or get laid, stand tall or chicken out. What else can you do, aside living within the walls of nature? Trust in God and learn to forgive yourself. Life is a divine gift, breathe, and embrace it.
