Just A Girl, Happy New Year

I have all of the time in the world. 

Yet none at all. 

How is it already today? 

The clock won’t stop ticking. 

Where should I go next? 

Where do I want to go next… 

Is it really time to grow up? I haven’t felt young in forever. 

It’s everyone’s first time doing life. Nobody has ever lived today before either. 

We’re all out here. Winging it. Whether we choose to hide that or not, everyone’s a newbie. 

So why do I always feel so behind? 

So, who’s to say then? To tell you where to go, when you should be there, and what to say on the way there. 

All we have is here, now. Focus on the color of today’s sky. Phone down, eyes forward, head up. 

We are given now. That is the gift. The rest is a bonus, sometimes even a distraction. It’s all fleeting, all the time. Time may always be dwindling, but if we are aware of that, our affection for it will grow. 

Look up! Catch the magic before it’s gone! This is what it feels like.

All around, it’s happening! 

Get out there!

Brb going insane,

Maddie ;)
