Life is a splash of colours
But there is a hue which belongs to you

Life is a motion of moments
of which only you see and keep

Life is a collection of tastes
of which your tongue savours and remembers

Life is the sky, mountain and sea
where you soar, plunder and cross

Life may be beauty and flaw
which differs only in the eyes of the beholder

Life may be small or big
depending on how you want it to be

Life quite often changes shape
in the hands of its owner

So do not merely live,
but instead be the life you want to be

I have been noticing these miniscule changes that it prompted me to write it down just to see how much about myself is different compared to say, five, or maybe ten years ago. For starters, what I can see is that I have been trying to instill better life habits. Drinking more water is my everyday mantra. I keep reminding myself to gulp down more and I do. My 15-year-old self wouldn't have bothered. I hated plain water back then, unless if it was to satisfy the thirst caused by exercising. Homemade fruit juices were just the same; I disliked the icky texture swirling in my mouth and the instant fill it made in my stomach. But, who knew how much I would look forward to having my fill every afternoon with a blend of staple fruits like bananas, apples, oranges and the occasional dragonfruit and papayas? I always have it with some fresh milk, just to make it smoother and taste better.  Apart from...
