Carpe Diem mi Demiyem mi?

About a month or maybe a few weeks ago I realized something. I don't like the term/philosophy "Carpe Diem". What it means may be so true and there is no way I can come up with a counter argument. However, don't YOU feel like it puts pressure on YOU every time you hear it? 

"Seize the day!" YOU don't have to tell me to seize the day because I am already doing it. We probably all are! Especially when YOU or someone else has opened a can of worms for YOU, you just can't seize/enjoy the day because dealing with a problem makes it even harder to concentrate on the beauties of life. So... on top of that, hearing "carpe freakin' diem" drives YOU insane. This concept of unnecessary inquietude and anxiety has the role of showing YOU less of what YOU already have, less of what YOU already are doing. Therefore, the feeling of unfortunateness (I don't know if such vocab. exists - I might've made it up but YOU know where I am getting at) invades your personal life by covering your achievements and making YOU believe that YOU should be doing more. Yes, you might need to aim for more but it should not be this stressful.

Here's an example...  Look at us!

My dearest friends Seden & Rüya 

WE  have LAUGHED our BUTTS OFF

We have shared

We have had lunches, dinners & breakfasts together

We have done silly things

We have shared

We have cared for one another

We have posed together many times

We have shared

No comment on this one! :D But,

we have shared

We have cried (well, they have never seen me cry yet but still ;)

We have talked about LOVE

We have discussed about "stuff"! YOU know what I am talking about

and there were times that we have had fights but again,

We have shared

Now each of us lives in different continents, different cities. Careful, the following sentence may sound a bit tacky! However, we still have each other even though we are far away from each other. So here is a question.... Could have we done more to enjoy our moments together? 

OF COURSE YES! There were countless things that we could have done more. But the real question is, " Was it possible to do those countless things?"

OF COURSE NOT! A-ha! YOU have just realized it, haven't YOU? We have done ourbest to experience the most of what we have had. And we have never looked back and regretted that we did not "seize the day" when we had the chance. Because it is stupid to look back and regret about these kind of things. "Could've, would've, should've" are always going to be around us. But they are in the past. Why carry it to the present?

Trust me! YOU did what YOU were supposed to do and that is it. YOU have probably enjoyed it to the most. So, be happy, be thankful! Don't look back and stop worrying about "Carpe Diem" because YOU did seize the day, and YOU are doing it right now as well. Take it easy and don't forget that human beings are greedy creatures. There is never an end to it.

Dear Seden & Rüya... after writing all this, it made me think. I know YOU are making the most of IT too. I love and miss YOU!
