lately
I've been thinking a lot about time lately. How it stretches and compresses, how it feels different in different seasons, different moods. Some days feel endless, a slow drip of coffee into a too-large mug. Others vanish in a blink, a whirlwind of activity leaving me breathless and disoriented. <br/ > <br/ >#### The Shifting Nature of Time <br/ > <br/ >Lately, time seems to be accelerating. Days blur into weeks, weeks into months. It feels like just yesterday I was writing down New Year's resolutions, and now summer is fading into fall. This sense of urgency, of time slipping through my fingers, is both exhilarating and terrifying. It's a reminder to savor each moment, to make the most of the time I have. <br/ > <br/ >#### Finding Moments of Stillness <br/ > <br/ >But how do you hold onto time when it feels so slippery? How do you find moments of peace in the constant rush? Lately, I've been seeking out pockets of stillness. Early morning walks before the city wakes up. Quiet evenings spent reading, a cup of tea steaming beside me. These moments, small as they are, offer a chance to breathe, to reconnect with myself and the world around me. <br/ > <br/ >#### Embracing the Flow <br/ > <br/ >Perhaps the key isn't to fight the passage of time, but to embrace it. To acknowledge the fleeting nature of each day, each season, each experience. To find joy in the constant evolution, the ebb and flow of life. Lately, I've been trying to let go of the need to control, to plan every detail. Instead, I'm trying to be present, to appreciate the journey as much as the destination. <br/ > <br/ >Lately, I've realized that time is a precious and finite resource. It's a gift, one that should be cherished and used wisely. It's a reminder to live fully, to love deeply, and to make each moment count. <br/ >
