Life's Lesson.

This is a short story written by me, I just made it up, and well, I thought about sharing it. if you read it, well, I hope you like it.
It still needs work, but well, this is it for now.

Life had turned a bit harsh on him lately, there wasn't much to do, much to see, much to care about anymore. He sighted, and with a lost stare he began to remember every moment that had taken his breath away throughout his whole life.
He smiled at the old times, God, they were good, how had he let them go just like that? Everything would be so different if only... if only... of only he had actually appreciated it when he had had the chance. The worst part was that "learning to appreciate things" was usually the motto of every damned song and every damned story, because at some point everything important was lost, and the main character ended up alone.
And who was he? Rafael Renfroe, another main character learning life's lesson.
In the blink of an eye he was suddenly divorced, his daughter lost, and his friends gone. If only he hadn't cared so much about money and that stupid job… he'd still be the happy person he remembered.
But yet again, he was just Rafael Renfroe, another main character learning life's lesson.
The worst part was that he couldn't help it. It was just this enormous anxiety to get all the power that blurred everything else around him until he forgot there was actually something else there, until he lost it. Life gave no second fucking chances, if you lose it, you lose it and end of story. Never mind trying to get it back because it was futile, so you had to love everyone, and live everyday as the last day because tomorrow mightn't even exist.

Damn, how many times had he heard that before? Nevertheless, it was the truth. So known and yet so ignored.
So he had been a prisoner for so long. A prisoner of his own, inside his private jail: his mind. Now it became clear: how people longed to help him and how he wouldn't let them; the truth was that no one could save him, no one but himself. They say there isn't a better teacher than experience, and again, how true that is. It was helpless, he was still a prisoner, the difference was that now he knew it.
Rafael only wanted freedom, and when he’d finally get it, he would go about life searching for all those missing dreams of his.
He would make his life be worth every second of it, and not because he had heard it, but because he knew that it was the path he had to follow to find happiness.
Live your life, from your mistakes take solely the wisdom, listen to your heart, and seek the freedom.
That was Reafael Renfroe... living life's lesson.
His daydream came to an end, and as landed on the real world, he realized how difficult it really was to live life’s lesson. Maybe, just maybe, he’d be able to do it someday. Perhaps, it would be real this time.
