Time is not a friend. It slips by when we aren't paying attention. There's that old piece of lyric going "Life is what happens when you're making other plans" (or something), but I think it's more like "Life is what happens when you aren't paying attention" or "when you get distracted". Life just keeps happening. Are you living it? If you were to disappear now, what is your legacy? If I disappeared, I hope what would be left is a pile of sparkles. Everyone who knows me would understand that sentiment. I would want there to be enough to go around for everyone I love and care for to have a little bit. To help them. How many paintings would you have left unfinished? How many dreams unfulfilled? Did you finish that vision that has been stuck in your head for months? Why do we take life for granted? Do we not get that there is just.one. Length unknown.
Added, we won't be able to do everything we can do right.now throughout the whole of our lives. Maybe we will be able to do more, maybe we will lose certain aspects of ourselves. Change is the only constant. Until your time's up. We never know when that is. So have you done what you wanted to do? Tomorrow never comes. You only ever have different Today's. I think we ignore this like many other facts in life.
Is it that we think it makes life easier to ignore the hard things? Cause, does it really? Or are we just screwing ourselves over in the long run...
Along with your daily obligations, don't forget to follow your most wildest dreams and be truly happy and LIVE your life, before you wake up and you realise there's no more time.
