Hey Greedy, Don't Fret!

One day, I was combing my hair like usual. However, something not very usual happened.


I found that my comb was filled with hair. Not just a few tens of them. I am talking about roughly hundreds of dropped hair. As I looked at them, I got terrified. How could I lose so much hair?


As I freaked out, I was wondering why. I thought,

"Was it because the antibiotics I had?"

And I thought, "Was it because I have done something to my hair lately?"

"Was it because I was exposed to the sun too much?"


As I looked into the mirror, I saw a girl with beautiful hair. I still had the straight and volumed hair I love.


Then I felt so stupid worrying over something I should not.


A lot of times, we keep thinking about the things we lost. We wonder how we lost them. We think about the times we had them. We think about the possibilities they are still around.


Human tend to be greedy. They still think of what they lost because they wanted more. What is gone is gone. When you are fretting over things you already lost, why not look at things you have? 


You lose precious time while you're fretting, missing things you have in your life. When you realize what you have missed, you would probably think that you were being so foolish. 


*Don't fret over things you lost, cherish those that is still with you.*

A very good message indeed...

It is this line that reminded me so much about you.
"As I looked into the mirror, I saw a girl with beautiful hair."

Still the same old confident girl that I used to know. :) I am glad that time didn't take that away from you.
