Dearest You, it’s I

I wonder how many people pause for a moment, regardless of their current situation and question ‘life’, as if to ponder if you’re living your own life or if it’s living you. Many nights I stay awake lying in my bed, with the only light being the small light that comes from my ‘sleeping’ laptop which echoes in and out of brightness peaking at a silhouette of my surroundings, and I make plans. It’s healthy to do this, to act out events and use your creative imagination to play back a movie where you’re forced to react in make-believe environments. Out of all of this pretend thinking and dreaming through choices, it eventually dawns on you, that none of it is real. The only thing I hope for you, and for me too, is that these fake scenarios stimulate a reaction in your real world and you do something. Wasting moments and minutes thinking about things is like renting life, you’re wasting your resources and not getting anywhere except a pretty picture to visit. Potential is such a great thing to waste, so if you’re reading this, do something you’ve thought about for awhile, or do something different and experience a situation you’ve only thought about being in from the comfort of your imagination.

Happy New Year to all – C.f.
