This week, I’ve had a lot on my mind. Well, when don’t I?
But, this week really brought me to dwell in my thoughts a bit more. I’m not sure what sparked the sudden urge, but so it goes.
I started to look at things, from figuring out that I wasn’t taking care of myself, and for noticing something else, too.
A bizzare thought, you might like to call it, but I was reminded of something that I’ve thought about before.
Every second of your life, is a second of someone else’s. While you breathe, a baby experiences it’s first breath. While you cry, someone else jumps for joy.
Sometimes, I feel as though I forget this fact. That my life is apart of others, and I’m apart of theirs.
Now, this is sort of odd, why would I be thinking about this? I’m I that enamored with the idea that I share this earth with billions of others?
What is so striking to me, is the affect people have on each other.
This week I met my lovely friend for the first time in person. After a fun night together and having to part ways, I started to miss her. I missed her presence.
Yet, I had never been besides her until that night.
A simple text from the one I love makes my heart race. It doesn’t really matter what they sent me, I still get that rush of excitement. And I’m like a flightly little kid when I’m around them, I’m filled with so much love and thrill, and I get so nervous. It’s very ironic actually, I write this person poems about my feelings for them. And yet, in person I can only mumble a couple words and smile.
I’ve looked at my sister or my cat, and just stared at them. I live with my sister, and my cat. But I forget how wonderful they are, how snuggly my furball cat is, or how funny and charming my sister is. i’ve grown up with my childhood friend around, but I feel like i’m getting to know him for the first time.
My point is, people leave an impression on your life. Even if it’s good or bad, it stays with you. And if you think about it, you leave one on their lives too.
So maybe those steps they take, while you’re taking them too, are together. Maybe you’re both crying tears of joy after seeing each other for the first time. There are so many things you can do, so why not do some together?
