Anxiety
Impatience
Overthinking
These words connote an inability to enjoy the present
If you are anything like me, you can relate
I think almost every adult can…
Anxiety about bills
Work pressure, politics, and tension
Striving to have a life, to be seen, to be successful
We have different definition of success but I think for most it’d be to adequately meet their needs and possibly wants for themselves, and maybe members of their families.
Bottom line, we are always in a hurry
After all, we live by the slogans “life is short”, ” time is money”.
I think saying these things make us feel like we are in control of the time we have even if we cannot say for sure how much time we’d be given to experience life.
I guess I understand the need to cram our experiences
There is this fear that we may not have enough time to experience all that we desire.
We are aware of the constant time maze ticking in the background, the ultimate countdown.
I get it.
Despite this attempt to hurry through life, some days are slower than others. Yet, years blink by
We gather good memories along with the bad. It is the good, bad, and ugly dynamics.
Anyways, you are here now
How about you slow down to smell the air
Breathe in the freshness
Be alive through pain
Alert through love
Bear grief
Adore companionship
Make friends, fail…
See the world through your lens and those of others
Slow down
Why the hurry to the grave?
We are actually alive to die.
Tomorrow is a gift.
