But living in the future, it will be reality startling you. ~
With all the relaxation and the no pressure schedule of holidays, you can really let yourself lose track of time, be it the day or the date, or of the hours themselves. Got a pleasant surprise when I realised I didn't need to plan ahead for what I had to do tomorrow or the day after that. Not to mention not wanting to occupy my mind with empty planning to begin with.
You really begin to understand people who like to live "in the spur of the moment".
But that also brings you to wonder on ones approach to the everyday life. Where school, work or whatever takes up a big part of your day, there are only the short weekend breathers to keep your mind afloat. Then it is back to diving into the depth of the everyday schedule.
You're always forced to think ahead, to that test you have to do tomorrow, to that assignment due the day after that. And the moment it's done, your mind wipes clean and simply jumps to the next task on the agenda. Not living for the present but instead for the future, makes the life dull and repetitive and monotonous. Just the reality of it is enough to startle you.
It's thanks to the holidays that I decided to start this blog up in the first place. Interesting how life works, isn't it?
