“I learned too late how to live” |Prompt #9

Doing something badly is always way better than not doing it all and regret it later.

I remember the times when I was so stubborn about things which I’d never do it. Of course, there would have been a lot of thoughts which were helping them to make a habit. But little did I know, they were keeping me in a shallow surface.

I wanted to deep dive into whatever I get myself involved in, but just like others, I’d always fear change and not try my hands at it.

One of the best examples I can think of which I’ve learned too late is the power of my words. 9 years ago I had started writing in my diaries, and journal or maybe any piece of paper, and it too me 3 years to actually start a blog of my own in 2015, even after that I wasn’t sure what to write and post with the entire world, until I found my own voice with erotica writing and with time, I tried to try mg hands at multiple genre of writings.

I feel the same with reading books. I’ve learned too late how to actually read a book, and what is the impact of it in our lives. Now, after all these years, I really don’t consider a book as a book to entertain me, but to learn a lot of things; writing patters and about emotions that fluctuate with characters.

Tonight prompt number #9, “I learned too late how to live” is about things I learned really late but here I am.

---

I was told that
That there was a beautiful sunset
Last evening,
That lit the sky
Like a burning fire,
And yet
I wasn’t there to see it.

•

I was told that
The stars shone so brightly
That night,
Much brighter than
They’d ever shone before,
And yet
My eyes were closed.

•

I was told that
The chorus of the dawn
Was sung more sweetly
Than it ever
Had been sung before,
And yet
I did not wake to hear it.
