Even though this was one of the first poems I wrote, it has occurred to me on off in the years since that we never take the time to just BE. As in 'be in the moment'- now that is the biggest cliche saying going oozing with cheese 'be in the moment' but think about it: when was the last time you truly focused, relished and absorbed a moment instead thinking of what you have to do next, the list of jobs awaiting you tomorrow etc? Most busy people, including myself, are guilty of this. Some of us even have the bad habit of thinking we'd rather be somewhere else or be talking to someone else when at an event or having a conversation with someone. But I'm learning that all experiences are necessary to shape you we are- if we didn't have to go to school or work- treats like holidays and days off would lose their colour and joy, if we didn't endure dark times or make mistakes we wouldn't be as strong or wise today. So try to make the most of your time, be of use to others and most importantly do what you enjoy :)
