Moving at speeds too great with little opportunity for a pit stop. It seems as though we keep going forward with no intention of reflecting on what we have left behind. As we keep on, battling our daily demons, it's the little things we lose in the process.
Appreciating the familiar cereal crunching monstrosity of a sound on busy Monday mornings. Seeing the tragic humor in that little twerk move we find ourselves doing every time we conquer those ultra skinny jeans. Laughing from the depths of the soul when that one word word reminds us of that one time when that one thing happened. Even just throwing ourselves on the sofa after a horrendous week and stuffing our faces with flings. These things. It is these seemingly irrelevant, basically infinitesimal bits and bobs and doings that actually color our lives. These things define our very existence.
Sure, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find the time to let a thought other than work and school and relationships and the usual blabber, cross our minds. But be wary. Often that which is worth acknowledging is hidden beneath what we believe to be of greater importance. Don't lose yourself in the pursuit of success. Don't lose yourself to the mediocrity of life either. Fight the system of mundanity and routine. Notice the first flower bud bloom. Inhale the petrichor. Smile at the creep on the corner. Look in the mirror and love the way your eyes crinkle when you laugh. Just live :)
