Hey, We need to talk, we really need to talk
We need to talk about moving on so quickly, you carry on residues of unresolved hurt in your heart, we really need to talk
We need to talk about sitting with your emotions in full and dissecting them in little chunks, we need to talk
We need to talk about our intense focus on speed over direction, we need to talk about chasing shiny things at the expense of valuable things in our lives, we need to talk.
We need to talk about silence and counting days and having no plans, and how those are okay things too.
We need to talk about comparison and how it is such a thief of progress, and how you steal from yourself every moment you put yourself down.
We need to talk about our willful blindness to how far we have come, cheating our hearts, one "do they have two heads" after another.
We need to talk about slowing down, about solo conversations in the parking lot, we need to have more of that, where we are truly thankful for where we are and where we are going.
Life is more than just ticking the boxes. There's full love and wholesome friendships to be made.
I hoped that we'd sit with our emotions, and for most of us, not having a schedule can almost come off like a disease, but hey, you are here again. It will be fast soon, so you need to treasure the silence and the solitude of your own voice in your head
You deserve some time off
