Hurry hurry hurry

As i left class today, after taking my last exam for the year, i put my headphones on, and walked outside to an AMAZINGLY beautiful day. I was right on the river and for some reason, something struck me at that moment....people need to SLOW THE FUCK DOWN. I don't mean physically....well actually yeah i kind of do....i mean in every aspect...slow down. Walk a little slower. Talk a little slower. Take things in instead of running by them. As i wtite this, i am sitting at the river, doing just that; taking things in. Slowing down. realizing that in the rat race that is life, we don't take enough time to just SEE things.

There are a lot of people who consider their relaxation time or down time as sitting in front of the tv, eating whatever they eat, or drinking whatever they drink...and hey, more power to them, whatever helps them unwind is cool with me. I personally only watch tv when it's super late at night and i just need something to occupy my eyes before i pass out, or when there is a show i actually want to see....which are few and FAR between. I find this...right now to be the way i like to unwind...quiet, a breeze, nature, and writing out all my thoughts, and unwinding.

Most people say they're SO busy, they have NO time for anything...but most of them have way more time than they think. They don't factor in the time they spend procrastinating. They don't realize that during the 2 hours it takes to watch gossip girl and 24, that's actually down time. They leave everything to the last minute, then rush and say they have no time. OR they enroll their kids in 57 different sports and activities and then bitch about it. YOU are in control of your life. you don't HAVE to enroll little Billy in soccer and baseball and hockey. You don't HAVE to watch gossip girl and the hills and whatever else you watch. You just WANT to.

Actually sit and total up all the time you spend not doing anything. You have a lot more time than you thought. And you will realize if you just slow down while you're doing the things you NEED to do, things will go much smoother. Try it.

As for me, i am going to get off this thing now, close my eyes, and unwind a bit further. Soak it in bitch!

out.
