I think it's so strange to think about how what I'm doing right this second is not going to last forever. After I finish writing this I am going to get ready for bed and then I am going to go to sleep. As soon as I say everything I need to say, I am going to stop typing. I am not going to be typing anymore but I can go back and replay the memory of me typing.
During one of my events today, while I was actually racing, I thought it would never end. It was so painful and I wanted it to be over while I was doing it. But then the race finished and we rowed back to shore and put away the boat and it was all over. I wasn't rowing anymore. But after, and even right now, I can think about the way that I felt during that race.
I just think it's so fascinating to think about!
And it can be both positive and negative. Negative experiences end eventually (in most cases) and then they just become memories that get pushed down into the deepest parts of our minds so we never have to relive them. But once a good memory is over, we crave to live it again. We can pull up the memory and re-feel the way we felt and for a moment we can bathe in the goodness that has passed.
Remember to try to always enjoy every moment, the good AND the bad because you never know how quickly it may end!
I apologize if this post made no sense at all, I'm just trying to put some thoughts into words.
Thanks for reading :)
I love this blog post, I can relate to it so much. I always think about how time passes so quickly and everything becomes a memory in an instant. Just an hour ago, I was eating dinner at a fancy restaurant that I was really looking forward to, and now I'm here, full as ever, thinking about my delicious meal. It's really strange, yet interesting how time works. :)
ReplyDeleteSky Karasik can you please be a published writer because not only did you put my jumbled up thoughts into words but also because that.was.amazing. It blows my mind that in 2 weeks I am not going to remember myself typing this on your blog post or that my dogs are snuggled up under my feet or even that I am stressed about my history test on Tuesday. I am thankful that our brains do not remember every moment of our lives but at the same time extremely saddened. I will not remember how I tripped and fell in front of my whole class thank goodness but what if I don't remember how great it feels to win my swim race and drop time? There are some things I do not want to forget. I have never thought of the saying "You only live once" so in depth.Thank you for allowing myself to look at life differently. I love you and your blog bunches!! I can't wait to see you in class tomorrow! xoxo
