as time goes by

it's crazy realizing how fast time passes. i still remember things as if they happened yesterday but i realize it's been years, a decade even. we just get caught up in cycles of being busy and don't stop to take a breather, even a small one. some times it takes some drastic event to make us stop and look at everything we've zipped past as we rushed forward with our lives. i'm definitely learning to take those much needed time outs, even though sometimes i don't want to. it's really difficult to force yourself to stop entirely, stop the vibration of the zillions of cells that just want to keep charging. then, pick up and carry on.
