Life goes on.
2/12/08
Here I am sitting in the cottage’s living room, listening to my parents talk about something in the kitchen while Alanna watches American Idol next to me and trying to read what I’m writing.
So I’m thinking over a topic that came to me when I spotted a line of cards coming from a funeral, or at least I assume. But, I realized something then that everyone knows but doesn’t quite notice: Life goes on all around you, no matter what.
While you sit around, doing nothing, someone is scratching off a lottery ticket, or getting into a fight, or even sharing a moment of love with someone special. I think that people just get too caught up with their own lives and the other lives that they can see and just don’t notice any other lives. Out of sight out of mind, I guess. They really can’t be blamed for it.
Next time you see someone, try to think of what they’re doing after they leave while trying to picture it all through their own eyes. The more and more I find myself doing this, the calmer I get and the easier it is becomes to detach myself from myself. Lates.
