Strange...

It’s strange, this thing called life. People coming in and out of our lives, leaving whatever impression they leave behind. Until, one day, we (I) leave the lives of others. Life passes by in what seems but an instance, the time zooming by relative to our state of being. Some days seem to last awfully long, while others seem to disappear in a blink of an eye. There are people who leave a great imprint in our minds, even after they disappear the realm of our present realities, and there are those we hardly think of again after they are gone from our own lives. The same can be said about many other things: photographs, paintings, movies, events, songs, flavours, experiences. Each leaving its own mark in our minds, on our lives. Good, bad, horrible, incredible, mediocre, amazing, ugly, beautiful, not so memorable...Memorable for a lifetime. The more we experience, the more we can remember, and each of these experiences can (in the long run) move us forward, can help us to learn, grow, evolve. Because when we are not “evolving,” we are not living quite fully, and even though it’s necessary and good to sleep, dream, relax and recharge, it is important to be “awake” and living, experiencing this strange thing called life and enriching our own stories with all these “impressions.”
