It's 1 in the morning and I have to wake up at about 6. I'm going to church tomorrow, having breakfast and then a whooooole lot of activities to do. But then again, that's not really why I started this blog...
Just a few minutes ago I was looking at some very very old yearbooks. Yesterday I went to a party (btw, I still owe you the story about that party... Some good moments there which I might just write about...) and there one of my friends introduced me to his girlfriend. Turns out she was my best friend when I was in first grade. Wanna know how many years have gone by? Well, lemme just say I was looking at the 1996 yearbook and yes, we are all there.
You know... Time really does go by fast. Just yesterady I was still in school and now I'm in college. Yesterday I didn't have to worry about projects, midterms or anything. There were just a few homeworks, getting up early in the morning to be ready for school, some exams... The usual... Now things are a lot different... Times are a lot different too...
I'm gonna keep this post kinda short since I do have to go to sleep (even though I'm not really sleepy). The whole point of this is to make you realize how fast life is going. How ready you have to be to keep on keeping on. Every day has about 24 hours (it's not exact... just close enough for us humans) and you can do a LOT in 24 hours. As a matter of fact you can do a lot in just about an hour. A few minutes of talking to someone can change your life and sometimes... There are a few moments in life that just take seconds... Those moments can even define you or where you are heading...
Today also I was reading a book called "La Resistencia" (The Resistence) by Ernesto Sabato (great writer, you should check it out if possible). It reminded me of how lost we all can get inside this online living. How we all just keep forgeting how beautiful life is around us... Have you just stopped and looked at the sky lately? Promise me this... Tomorrow or even today... You will stop doing whatever you are doing. It doesn't really matter if it's work, school, chores, watching TV or whatever. You will stop whatever it is you are doing and just take a deep breath, go outside and look at the sky. If it's raining watch the beauty of it. If it's a sunny day then just take in the sun and all it's energy. If it's cloudy look at the beautiful forms they build... Once you do that... You'll realize how beautiful life is and how much you've missed it.
Trust me on this one... I may just be a kid (I'm 21) but I have lost parts of my life for worrying about things not worthy... for paying more attention to details than this amazing journey we call life...
Take a moment and breath in the life around you... Remember yesterday? Well that's gone... And it went by just a 'lil too fast... Try to take in today... Live today... Breath today... Love today...
Love it!! as always :), ala fíjate que leyendo esto me recordé del cielo en Lanquin el finde pasado que fuimos, creo que ha sido el cielo mas estrellado que he visto en mi vida, estaba increíble! lo que me hizo pensar en que cada día Dios hace cosas tan maravillosas y nosotros no nos damos ni cuenta. Por eso estoy de acuerdo contigo, tenemos que parar y apreciar lo que tenemos alrededor porque está hecho solo para que disfrutemos y nos recordemos que Dios siempre esta allí esperando que le demos un poco de nuestro tiempo y amándonos como siempre :)
