Let Go & Appreciate What's in Front of You

Literary Gems


Let go and appreciate what’s in front of you

What do you guys see in this amazing photograph? Does time travel come to your mind? Does it reflect something else other than what’s obvious? Well for me, it reflects a phenomenal that a majority of people go through time to time. Something that sometimes we get way in too deep that you forget to pay attention to what’s in front of you.

This photograph symbolizes so many things, but to me it’s a girl trying to get a hold of time. A girl who feels time is running out. She tries to stop time, get a hold of it, and pull it to make it go slower. But the harder she pulls, the faster it goes. She’s trying too hard to change its speed, but she’s also losing herself, she’s losing her focus and her dreams. She’s surrounding herself with the darkness that she’s slowly creating.  She’s focusing on the future, on the things that are not yet there, and forgot to focus on the present. Where everyone is surrounding her, where the light shines on. And that is something that many people suffer from.

We as people tend to focus on time, on our future that we forget to see who surrounds us, what we have now and who we are. We get too caught up on things that don’t matter, because at the end time will always go, no matter how hard we try to stop. No matter how hard we try to pull it, time will always go. But what we have to learn and understand is that even though time goes by, we have to focus on what is in front of us, on what we have and to never let ourselves go. We need to keep our focus, our goals, here in the present. Because the present is a present. The present is something we will not have tomorrow. The NOW is what we will only have now, not tomorrow or the day after that.

So, remember always focus on the NOW. We will never have the now that we have now.  Make the best of it. Don’t ever waste it. Don’t think way too ahead. JUST THINK OF THE NOW.
