The gift of normality …
Let’s appreciate what we have while we’re still in time!
Sometimes life feels like a train journey passing in-front of us. One which is difficult to control and restrain. Not because we do not have it, but because we have relinquished it. Mainly due to our obligations, our commitments and a million other things that chain us to the every day routine.
But somehow we get accustomed to it and we play by the rules of the game. We wake up early in the morning, prepare the kids for school, rush to work (and grumbling about traffic), kill ourself with day-to-day problems whilst constantly being interrupted by a million-and-one notifications and finally get home exhausted trying to find some time for your loved ones. Wow, does not sound very inspiring does it?
And this was just the macro perspective. Let us ponder a little on the micro parts. What about our health? A fast life makes one forget about it, especially when you are still young. What could happen? Until it actually does and most probably it is too late! Our cognition of time seems frozen a few decades back, we still think we are in our 20s, until one day we are confronted with a reality check and we realise our true age. How much time did we spend with people who are only there because they need something from us (not always something legit) and who can easily be relegated to the “waste of time”…
