Learn to live in the moment
Untitled 14 months ago

There used to be a time, that I would just be walking down the sidewalk, and I’d suddenly just stop and take a deep breath. I used to be able to notice the color in the leaves, the crisp air, the sunnyness of the day. The past few months I seem to have lost that sense of just being happy with the moment. I don’t stop anymore to notice these things. I remember these secret smiles creeping across my face that just made me feel so good about everything, while realizing that I probably looked like a creep to everyone else since I was laughing to myself, but it didn’t matter because I was just happy with life and everything. I’ve been stressed out a lot. I think too much about things. I worry too much about my relationships. I should have just let things be and waited to see how things fell into place. Anyways, I’m working on living in the moment again. I want that smile back…

I know how you feel exactly. I used to take such delight in little things, pigeons acting funny, flowers I passed by. Sometimes in the city there is so much going on around you that you have to be aware of that all of your attention is taken up with surviving the environment you are in, and the pleasure goes out of looking around you. I think fearfulness and stress sap away all of that attention if you are not careful.

Take care and good luck
