walk

If only it was tangible.

It is a learned response I suppose. Or a state of mind if you must. Something we find ourselves in because we have learned that nothing good comes out of rushing things, doing it haphazardly or racing to beat the deadline. A shallow outcome would suffice - that's the excuse. Something to get you through just this once.

More often than not, we find ourselves unprepared to meet the tasks at hand because we feel that we don't have the necessary experiences. That our intellectual faculties cannot handle the demands, that emotionally, we aren't ready to face this. To face it. Now. We tend to rush everything in the hopes that when we get to where we want to get to, it will be smooth sailing. We don't, or rather, never take into account our readiness at the moment, if we are prepared or at the very least, expectant of the things we are to face. And then we face them. Only to realize that, if we had taken the time to just wait, we would probably be more than ready and maybe even willing to take on what we must.

This art is slowly dying. Stop and smell the roses, why don't you?
