Hello somebody.
It has been a year since I’ve logged in. What’s new?
Frankly, there’s going to be something new at all times. New thoughts, new feelings, new happenings. Some stay longer than others. On the other hand, some may be so fleeting that before I even take the time to contemplate on them, some other thing comes around.
I’ve now decided to be more dogmatic and disciplined in my approach to journaling. Some big steps were taken which includes re-arranging my time spent on doing professional tasks. That allows for more headspace (and time) to contemplate. To make this more achievable and realistic, I also intend to write only a little each time.
Why now? As the saying goes, the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, and the next best time being now. Between one’s birth and death, lots happen. Lots have been happening and time keeps ticking away.
As John Mayer puts it:
Stop this train
I want to get off and go home again
I can’t take the speed it’s moving in
I know I can’t
But honestly, won’t someone stop this train?
Life is a train that will never stop. It will only stop when life ceases to continue. It no longer feels like a fantasy or a distant theory. I’d need to live more because death is an impending and absolute truth. This is why I am starting this now.
