It’s an early Saturday morning, which means it was an early Friday night. Driving across town the clouds look amazing- greyish blue, moving across the sky. Early mornings usually induce self reflection for me, I guess I like the feeling that everyone is still sleeping so there’s no rush to do the millions of things I always feel like I have to do.
This week I saw some friends of mine that are a huge part of me and how I came to be the person that I am today. And I guess those hugs and watching them do what they love were things that I might have needed on a random Wednesday night. Blasts from the past get you thinking about the present.. what would my former self think? From a year to three to five ago, I guess gauging is something I like to do in relation to personal growth and change. It’s important for me to know where I’m going and remember how I got here; accountability and direction are traits I admire greatly.
A year ago I might still be sleeping, recovering from all night conversation, and/or dancing hangovers but this morning I’m driving across town to babysit someone I cannot even begin to describe my love for. And so the gears have shifted- because they always do – and a year from now I’m sure it’ll all have changed a bit more. Just a testament to the fact that life is fast and time is faster… makes me appreciate tiny moments like this morning’s and how long an hour can sometimes feel.
