It may be cliche, unoriginal, whatever- but its the perfect way to describe it. (It being life, or whatever "it" is that we always describe as the vague, undefined, general concept we refer to as life.)
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." Ferris Bueller
I really couldn't agree with anything more. I don't know if its all the time, but right now it is so true. The late teen years are heavily focused on thinking about the future- whether I'm looking forward to it or dreading it, I'm always thinking of whats coming up next. It is very rarely that we actually clear our heads and stop what we are soooo busy doing constantly, to just sit back look around, think and appreciate the little things.
The point is that he said it right, and therefore no more words need to be spoken
Also- just on a side note- I am just noticing how insanely cool sunsets are, especially how awesome it is when they occur after 7pm, and how they really have the ability to put a smile -and/ or look of shock/ speechlessness in my case- on your face and put you completely at ease. Why must something that has such a great affect on people and is so beautiful is the rawest definition of the word last for only 10 minutes of the day. I'm going to go ahead and find the silver lining on this bad boy and realize that while it sucks that I haven't been able to appreciate this marvelous aspect of our day for the past 18 years, I am now and from here forward. I encourage you to find something in your world that puts you completely at ease and instantly paints a smile on your face. You can't beat the price or the feeling of being warmed up by a indescribable sunset.
