Take Your Time

"Wish I could see the future sometimes..."

When I ride my bike and have my headphones play songs like Impossible on repeat, I contemplate and watch the world go by. I always wonder if other people think about life as often as I do. Sometimes I feel like people are living their lives so fast, that they have absolutely no time to think, appreciate, and acknowledge what is and what may be. This fast-paced lifestyle may result in times when we look back at a moment in our lives when we thought that it meant everything to us, then simply forget about it and erase it from our memories. If only we had taken the time to fully absorb those memories and make every one of them worth remembering. I would like to think that every one of us takes our time with all of our endeavors to get to that place we all call Somewhere, but we're only human. Some may rush themselves and end up missing what was really there, a few may attempt to work at what it was that they were chasing and find that their efforts were not enough, and others may not even try at all.

I've always wished the best for humanity and part of that better life would be for all of us to wave off those what-ifs, could haves, should haves, and the would haves by taking our time with every chance we take. 

I wouldn't want any of us to rethink our decisions in life and say "It could've meant everything, but then again it could've meant nothing."  

Let's not rush through life. Let's gradually move forward into the future without living in the past.
