is life about being young & pretending to be old & then being old wishing to be young?
scary to think about
so my lola (grandma), as a kid throughout high school, i was always pushed to a deadline, to always be up at a certain time & out the door early to be in school. & it wasnt just school, but to be present at dinner, to be asleep at a certain time, and its carried on to my thoughts. i feel like i always have to be somewhere at a certain time, always thinking ahead, behind, but never the present.
and i want to change that. i want to embrace the present, i want to slow it down and enjoy the clear skies, to notice the deep hues of blue, blown out whites of the clouds because of the beating down of the sun, to observe the green of the greenest trees, smoke the greenest of the green.. trees.. hah..
because all we have is the moment right? im not saying blow off all your plans or forget your past.. just want to practice living in the moment more, to embrace and enjoy the moments where you stop and say, “damn, this is where i belong, this is where i’m supposed to be RIGHT NOW”.
keep life simple
