Quote of the day.
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away.

Standing still
I’m the girl standing on the street corner watching as the world passes me by. What makes me think this way? I have no idea.
I feel like I’m not going anywhere in life, I’m 21… what is really expected from me? I would like to think that I’m making something for myself and that I’m not wasting my time at this street corner… but I honestly don’t know.
What do I do when my friends and my family are moving on down the street without me, I want to be able to join them, but I can’t get my feet to move?
There are so many directions for me to go… I can go south, north, west or east… I can even go north-west if I was to choose. But every time I take a step it’s as if the street moves with me and I’m still in the same spot. I’ve tried to move this way or that but every time I look up I realize that I haven’t moved at all.
My friends have all moved away from me… some are on the opposite side of the street and some have moved so far down that I don’t see them anymore… it is right for me to judge myself based on their achievements… if so I have definitely failed somewhere along the way. We are no long holding hands to cross the check point together… we’ve all gone our separate ways. But I’m still stuck … is my time already running out so soon?
