Happy birthday mummy!

At first, it was because i saw how sad she was.
I'm not sure if i'm wrong, but i just felt that she was sad, and i thought of a million reasons why she could be sad. -that was enought to make me sad.
But again, as i ponder, something made it worse.
Sometimes, i really feel that some of us use our tears wrongly. Like on sad shows, or when others are in misery-and you pity them.
When it comes to opening our eyes, figuratively, it takes a long time to realise what is really right in front of you. Just like how a camera focuses on a moving object- there's never a clear image in the end;like how it is now.
The hard, cold, in-the-face realisation of how fast time will pass.
Its a now-or-never, do-or-die, don't-make-a-good-decision-for-yourself-now-and-regret-it-later kind of feeling; so, ever wondered why your parents want the best for you?
like i said, there's never a clear image, and i don't know whether i'm right, but i am guessing that it is because they have been there, and they don't want us to repeat whatever mistakes they had. Likewise, a lady tells you how the ladies toilet look like because they have been there- and whatever she says is true, at least for that particular toilet, because she was there! In more life-like terms, everyone is experiencing different situations, so you can't say that what your parents say is non-applicable. Ah, i can't think of a better way to explain it. Go figure.
All this blogging is making me forget what the actual point is,
but i guess its somewhere up there.
perhaps what i realised today is something that is so commonly talked about, yet so unfamiliar with many.
you know your parents are there, you know they want the best for you, but you just overlook them, and until you realise how important they are, you can be the best doctor in the world or whatever, but in the end you realise you could have become better than what you already are if you had listened to them.
