Cheers. To Our Future.

Every time you look into a mirror, what do you see?
Or rather, what do you want to see instead of that 'awful me' you dislike so much?
Let's face it.
The world asks so much of each and every one of us now that it even hurts some to look at themselves.

Remember when we as children ran around everywhere while our mothers did their grocery shopping?
Remember when we as children were nagged at to finish our food?
Remember when we as children were grounded from the tv or computer or any other form of entertainment due to overusage of those devices?
Remember when we as children used to love snuggling up to our parents' arms for warmth just before being tucked into bed?

News flash.
It isn't the case anymore.
Children are getting abducted just by a mere 20 minutes or so if they stray away from their parents' just for a second.
Children are actually starving as a result of some parents who put themselves before their children.
Children are turning to other ways of satisfying their hunger for entertainment or just about anything to fill their free time, that some turn to the bad kind.
Children are the ones turning down their parents' love nowadays, thinking in mind that parents never will understand how they're feeling on the inside.
We are so blinded by our wants and do's and dont's that sometimes, others don't matter anymore. Not just a little bit, but not a single drop of care for another person.

What awaits regarding the futures of the children of today you ask?
Well, even I dare not think of it, but one thing's for sure.
There will always be those who feel empty on the inside, no matter how good or bad an environment one could be found in.
It's up to us to make a better future for ourselves.
To start making things better so as to have an appropriate and awesome place before moving on to the ultimate place called Heaven.
