Slow down.

Narturally, we all say time is moving too fast.
Too fast that we can't seem to take a step back and look at the things that mean so much to us.
While it is true in reality that we can never stop time, I would say time is not moving fast at all.

Why does it seem that life is moving so fast now?
We all have the same feelings whereby we feel that time moves faster as we grow older.

However, I would say that time is moving at exactly the same speed as it was 10 years ago.
In fact, time is not the one that's moving fast.
We are.

As humans, we just walk through life in a stereotypical sequence.
Primary school then secondary school then junior college/polytechnic/ITE then university/work then work then get married then start a family then retire then die.
So by the looks of it, we're moving faster and dying earlier.

We often feel that life will not wait for us.
But in actual fact, we're not living our life to the fullest if we just keep sharpshooting to the peak.
Eat a meal in five minutes or take your time and eat the meal while watching your favourite show for an hour?
Now which will be more satisfying?
Now which do you prefer?

As humans, we usually think of the consequences before doing something.
Though it may be good, it may not be good all the time.
Sometimes, we just got to lay everything aside and make a firm decision from the start.
And stick to it.

Slow down, just slow down.
Don't think.
Just slow down.

I need the beach...
The waves.


Peace and love,
