Stepped out of work for a minute to get a breath of fresh air this morning. It’s something I don’t usually do which is probably bad for me but doing that today I found myself staring at the way the sunlight was making the autumn leaves on this tree look really vibrant in the clear blue sky.
I got so much joy out of that moment that I quickly came to realise how time is just passing me by, and I’m not taking advantage of the millions of moments that are available for me to simply enjoy the nature of being alive.
The words “All we really have is right now” spring to mind as I’m trying to express how overworked I’ve been feeling for the last…how long for I’m not sure I can really say.
I guess I just work and hope for a life where I don’t feel like I’m in a river constantly being pulled by its insane current, making me absent minded of the special moments that often pay a visit but Im often too busy or too distracted to notice them.
I value the chances I get but I’m not taking advantage of them enough. It almost feel like I’m gonna blink and before I know it I’ll be sitting on my death bed wondering where the hell all the time has gone.
I might be able to do something about it now but I’m conflicted because doing so will come at a price I’m not sure I’m willing to pay. This world and this life that we have created for ourselves isn’t designed for us to soak up these special moments.
We distract ourselves with things seemingly important but unnecessary until the point it’s too late, and we realise that we’ve wasted our lives. It’s such a shame.
