Don’t let your sentiments fade

Think about it while it’s hot, while it’s clear.

Even though having hindsight is sometimes great, one thing we shouldn't procrastinate about is thinking. I agree it’s difficult to take time off that routine you’re used to.

Yet for this, we have to create time. It’s important.

Know about this story (from a TedTalk I guess) about this really busy girl working all the time and always complaining that 24 hours in a day is not enough and magically gets her house flooded ? What could she do ? I don’t know what she thought she could but she did it, taking care of the flood even though it adds 8 hours to that already very busy schedule.

We can create the time we need.

I have something to think about right now, a very close person to me is gone recently. There is so much to think about. It’s hard. Yet, if I wait it will all be gone, the memories, the feelings, the wonders.

This is why I am writing here, forcing myself to stop and think. To put my feelings (or at least try)down on paper. To do so, I have to clear my head of every unnecessary thought.

We all have that feeling that emotions will last while they fade away. You don’t catch them at the right moment and they are gone, all the stuff I could learn is gone too.

Here you go.

I should always try to recreate my emotions on a medium so that, when I look back at my life I can see those meaningful and wonderful times. Not the bad ones having the wrong tendency to be too well remembered.
