You know the days you do so much, and enjoy so much, and then calmly pace back into reality with an all-too sudden acknowledgment of the time you’ve traded for the worry of not having enough time? ⠀
I live in a world riddled with a mental loop set to time scarcity. My antagonist, if you will.⠀
Today my grandpa told me, “It all stands still while it’s happening.” And nonetheless it followed an explanation about how he’s on the side of life where there aren’t many more years to live.⠀
And in these never-enough moments, with my extraordinarily memorable grandpa, I know with certainty it is right now that I must concern myself with doing the right things with great fervor and intention. Because it will all blend together, and in his words, “Soon you’ll blink and you’ll be 80.”
