Learning to live in the moment
It’s tough
With each passing second we spend most of our time thinking about the next
You know
Those moments
Where time and space fade away and you’re just here
It happens randomly
A song makes the world disappear and it’s all that exist for those minutes
Or your brain randomly spaces and your eyes blur on an object ahead
Or when you’re with the ones you love, laughing, and nothing else matters
Half of the time
Those moments pass before we acknowledge them
They bless us and leave us
Giving us glimpses of contentment
The only sign of their existence
Is the deep gut feeling that we want more
And we’re missing something
See, I’m starting to realize that we aren’t missing anything
We are simply failing to learn
It’s easy to make life harder
It’s hard to make life easier
Putting in the work feels draining
Who wants to learn to take in moments
Sit in their silence
Appreciate existence
It sounds dreadfully boring
So, instead, we pass the time with anything else
Mindless anything else’s
Self deprecating, falsely beneficial
Anything else’s
And that’s the way life goes
It’s the way life passes
There’s the reason people say life flies
And years pass in the blink of an eye
But
They don’t
Time passes in all the ways you respect (or don’t respect) it’s worth
No one is perfect
And nothing is effortless
The work is worth the reward
The moments are worth the attention
And the outcome is worth your life
Plan for your future
But don’t live in it
Pay attention to your seconds now
They don’t last forever
And tomorrow doesn’t yet exist
