It's as good as eating your veggies

I laughed when I read this.

This is the first time in a long while that I've had a few hours to myself. I get so used to the commotion of being with other people that it takes a little while to get used to the silence. But after the silence has faded, I realize that there is so much going on in my mind. There's a buzz of thoughts and constant reflection to fill this time alone. I think I've needed this for a while.

Neverending Story

Life's slow passing moments make for great sources of inspiration. Moments of clarity and peace can do so much. Single snapshots of life can easily develop into catalysts for stories to come.

Yet I'm struggling with patience. This "life story" I'm supposedly living has swept me away. I realize that I have no say about where I'm going. But the swell of life can be overwhelming, so I try to balance keeping my head above water and reaching bottom in hopes of grounding myself. I'll do my best to avoid drowning in life.
