taking a step back.

I so often hear "everything is so busy right now".
It also escapes my mouth too often.
But really, if you think about it, you're not.
There is always time for family and friends, a quick coffee or just a chat on the phone.
But your day is never fully booked, never.

So often I hear "the world has become extremely fast paced".
It has, but that's because we made it that way.
We chose money and work over affection and care.
We chose to practically sleep at the office, or at school.
Because we strive to do well, but this is doing well in one aspect.
Doing well as a mother, father or even son or daughter is a different story.
Being a friend can even fall under this category.
We need to balance it.
We need to take that "step back" and breathe live and love.
Enjoy the life we lead, and not get cooped up in an office.

Of course providing for your family may require an income.
But really providing for a family is showing love.
Showing interest.
Showing you're there, forever.

It's the same for any relationship.
And person you cherish, they all deserve to know.
They all deserve you undivided attention.
They all want it.
So give it..

We need to combine the contradicting worlds.
We need to make one.
We need to find each other, to love each other.
And show it.
We need each other.
We need terror and happiness.
We need seriousness and creativity.
But we need them in equal amounts.
Rationality comes with emotionality.
Everything comes with its pair.
So learn to share..

Even yourself.

Love, x.
