The trajectory of life - learning to take things slow
Over the course of my lifetime (despite being only 19) I've felt this invincible pressure that time's running out, I have things to do, things to accomplish.
Whether it be seeing my age mates who are already giving speeches, seemed accomplished, some even with jobs or knowing what they're doing with their life, there was always something or someone. But that wasnt the cause for my worry, it was what I thought. I never cared who did what or how, but I always kept thinking about my potential and how I should be doing so much more than I currently am.
Until it dawned on me.....
I realized, tick tock....... tick tock ........ looking at the clock it seemed as if I was translating the time myself. I mean even if time goes at a steady rate, we decipher it right? We're the ones who give it meaning, we give it the power so we can also take it back.
Slowing down, I realized, I can just enjoy whatever I'm doing now, believing I'm where I'm supposed to be. Not regretting the past or worrying about the future but believing, no knowing I'm where I'm supposed to be at this moment, learning what I'm supposed to learn and moving forward at a steady pace.
