Do you know what kind of blogs are my favourite to look at?
The kind that just show stuff, one after the other-the most bizarre, luxurious, delicious, impressive adjective, beautiful people, places, and things. It doesn't take long before I'm absolutely dazed by "....that CHANDELIER!", "that cute little type writter replica!", "oh-my-goodness-that view!!", "look at those cupcakes! eeeeeee!" and I'm lost in the labyrinth of all things blog worthy. Time just passes by. And it's funny because I look at that time as a void, a waiting period between events A and B in my life and I just need to...
kill time.
I found myself thinking that before work a few days ago. I had about half an hour before I needed to leave, maybe a little less, and I just sat on the computer hoping that something interesting would pop up so that I could make the time go by faster. End my life sooner, essentially. But see, I don't think about time in terms of my life, not in this case. It was a meaningless interval of space, needed to be used up so that I could...
move on with my life.
Hellooooooo, life didn't go anywhere. You live your life in this instant. And I find myself horrifingly too often wasting my life. Waiting for something to happen. Dreaming of things that could happen. And the same coudl be true on the opposite end as well. Some of us are too busy to live. We need to go go go so that we can get get get so that we can be be be ...happy? Why don't we just start at the "be" part right now?
I want to stop wasting so much time studying at other peoples' accomplishments, opinions, etc. and focus all of that time on what is relevant to me in my place on this earth. I want to stop oggling at lamps and plots of land for sale next to a peach orchard in Georgia. I'm doing. No watching, wasting, killing. Make the most of your life. It's short and one day you will answer for it. I don't want to be a murderer. I don't want to kill time. It's a gift after all. It would be a shame to ruin a gift wouldn't it?
