Wake Up And Be Present
So I told you guys that I'm the one who will unfortunately have to tell my crappy stories for people who hopefully can relate. Lately as I've gotten older I feel like time just speeds by and I try so hard to hold onto it but it just slips right through my fingers. Anybody with me? I feel like life flies by us so fast because we truly aren't present in our life. We are constantly running from one thing to the next that we are so wrapped up in our chores we have to get done that we forget to live in the moment. I am so damn guilty of this it makes me sick to my stomach and yesterday was a wake up call for me to snap out of my mind and actually focus on what I am doing.
Yesterday was a crazy day in itself but honestly the last couple years have been crazy. From moving to Lincoln, to going to college, buying a home, getting engaged, being absorbed in my phone, cleaning my house, and the list goes on and on, we pile so much on our plates in one day we forget to actually enjoy our day. Sometimes I come home and talk to Shawn about my day and sometimes I can't even tell him what happened because I don't remember I was flying from one task to the other. Well yesterday as I was leaving work I was so wrapped up in my mind about what all I needed to do when I got home that I backed right up into the company car I work for. Yep, just my luck, but it honestly needed to happen. I feel like in life we have these wake up calls to help us regain balance in our life and who ever the man upstairs is really needed to let me know that I am sleeping through half of my life.
I don't want to be asleep through my whole life. I want to start being more present and really enjoying every moment I am given. This even means putting my phone down more and having meaningful conversations with people, even people I don't know. This means the dishes will get done just not tonight. We are only given one life and I don't want that life to be a waste, I'm not saying you can't ever be on your phone or get the tasks done you need to do but I'm just saying there is a balance for everything and right now I need to find that balance.
Love,
Cierra
