In the blink of an eye anything can happen. In the Blink of an eye you can gain or lose everything. In the blink of an eye your life can change for the better or for the worse, and we don't get to decide what happens in that blink, when fate is involved. When I really stop and think about that I, I get a little overwhelmed.
The thought alone makes me feel many things."In the blink of an eye". Like, I mean ya, sure we can control when certain things will happen for us, in a blink of an eye. Like when we rush thru our homework to get to that party sooner, Or like when we rush back from grabbing a snack or using the bathroom during a commercial break. Actually, wait. Its 2020 I know we pause the show when we do those things now. Do you get what i'm getting at though? That shit is deep. Deeper than I realize sometimes. Deeper than many of us realize sometimes.
Until it is too late.
What about all of the things we can not control? Why don't we think about that. We should. I mean, we grieve so hard when life hits us unexpectedly. we grieve when we finally lose that family pet that we had our entire lives. Although we hadn't visited in years, since we moved away. We mourn the loss of friendships, even though we choose to let small disagreements drag us a million miles apart. All because our pride is too big and petty is the new "cute". We grieve when people die. Yet we can go months, weeks even years without speaking to those same people.
..And For what? Because of what? small disagreements? slight differences in persons? Opposite opinions? Who do we think we are, playing with life like that? The people we have in our life today, could be gone tomorrow. When anything can really happen, In "a blink of an eye." Imagine not talking to your sister in the morning because you're mad over something so small only to find out she died in a car accident 15 minutes later? Thankfully, that has never happened to me, but guess what? It could have. I have placed myself in situations where I could lose the very people I love unexpectedly and with the worst taste in my mouth and that's unacceptable. I can't do that. We can't do that. Regret is a bitch and I'd much rather regret stupid things in life, like skipping unnecessary events and maybe never going sky diving but that's really it.
The last thing any of us should be okay with though, is unresolved issues. Time is of an essence. Never forget that.
So here's my vow to being better. I hope we all can be better.
xoxo Cait
