I can and I will.

Its a cold February afternoon and i am disappointed in myself for thinking that it may be anything but cold.

Luckily for me today, I have nothing on my mental 'to do' list, so i am here typing away a thought that has been persistent on being translated into writing.

And yes, a mental 'to do' list because believe it or not, a physical 'to do' list on paper requires commitment.

I have so many things i want to accomplish in this short life but the problem is: Will i ever?

I want to become a writer, heck i have always wanted to write a novel for as long as i can remember. Pathetically, i have even written in my notes the type of novel i would write. I even went about confirming the title for this novel: "far from love" but then decided it was 'too' corny.

So i moved away from reading the typical female books and moved to reading crime novels which i am now in love with.
Literally.

Needless to say, i was partially proud of myself because i knew i wanted to do something (write a novel) and i did make an attempt to make that happen - how ever little it may seem.

Now what i want to say is that i know that there are so many people like me, who are so desperate for something, which to some extent may be unrealistic, or rather unachievable at this very moment in time. But who is to say that it cannot be possible at a later stage in your life? No one.

We are the agents of our own fate - we are the ones who decide and choose how we can make our dreams come to reality in this short life. I have said "short life" a couple of times and i want to emphasise that tomorrow is not guaranteed (sounds corny, i know).

But it is so true!!! You do not need to be religious to believe this, because how many lives have you seen taken away so quickly and suddenly?

Take control of your life and make an attempt no matter how small it is towards achieving the bigger picture. Whether it is writing a book in my case, or buying a home in your case, it is the small things that contribute to making a big difference.
