Sometimes I really don't like looking at old pictures and scrapbooks and stuff. It's fun to look back on good things that have happened, but it also scares me sometimes. I just get overwhelmed with the fact that there's no going back. I mean, it's a pretty elementary thing considering we haven't invented time travel (yet). Life just feels so much shorter and so much harder when I realize that if I miss a moment or an opportunity, that's it. There are no do-overs. Whether I like it or not, every human is on a one-way trip to the end of their earthly lives. I don't have anything really profound to say about this. I just was looking at an old picture and started thinking about the past and the future and the fact that I have no control over time. It keeps on moving and I can either move with it or miss out on life.
Generations come and generations go,
but the earth remains forever.
The sun rises and the sun sets,
and hurries back to where it rises.
The wind blows to the south
and turns to the north;
round and round it goes,
ever returning on its course.
Ashley Smith. I would just like to say that I really enjoy reading your blogs. Even if you don't know all the answers about something, you still bring up good topics to think about. Like this blog for instance. There weren't any profound breakthroughs, but you got me thinking about my life and how every moment matters and we only have one shot at it. This isn't something that I normally think about but maybe it should be. Sometimes I think that I'm not nearly as aware as I should be about how my actions are affecting those around and the fact that there are no do-overs. Anyway, thanks for sharing! :) You're amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It makes me happy to know that you enjoy reading my blogs and that this made you think about something differently :) Writing is how I process what I'm thinking about a lot, kind of like a journal. I'm glad I can share my thoughts with other people! :)
