it makes me think of a time that I think I lived through but I can't really remember much

yes it sounds like some kind of cheesy wall hanging you'd find in a world market or bed, bath and beyond.
but it also has the benefit of being true.
nobody has endless time. eventually, the world calls "time out" on our journey and this one, on this planet, comes to an end.
thought experiment: some day (when you aren't personally over-scheduled or distracted and have a moment to just.... breathe.... and check out what's happening around you)
watch the people you come into contact with throughout your day.
are they well and truly present? engaged? or are they looking at their phones, with faraway eyes, thinking of (or wishing they were) somewhere else?
the trick to this life, I think, is to focus on and enjoy the present.
there is a lot of beauty and meaning in everyday life.
from the very smallest tasks and encounters to the mountaintop moments we all experience.
meaningful encounters create the good old days.
wonderful experiences (all shapes and sizes) create the good old days.
helping other people succeed (or celebrating their wins, big and small) create the good old days.
giving love or support or care with no expectation of any sort of return creates the good old days.
telling someone how meaningful they have been in your life creates the good old days.
I'm not into nostalgia -- at all! I feel like it's a trap from which people often fail to escape (ever met anyone who peaked in high school?)
so: let today be the first of many good old days.
compliment a stranger.
be less hard on yourself.
take an unscheduled minute just to savor something tiny about the world as it spins.
pet a dog. maybe yours. maybe someone else's.
there's more than enough cruelty and ambivalence and outright apathy in this world.
some of it even governs countries. big ones.
make this one of many good old days by extending kindness, care, and demonstrate that you give a shit about someone or something.
create your very own eras tour.
in loss, there is love. (pain too, reminding you that it mattered)
in death, there is life.
in life, there is hope.
in hope, there are any number of good old days to come.

PS: As per usual, Blur provide the perfect soundtrack to this thought bubble (link).

There are times when I remember things from years ago and I feel as if I am remembering someone else's life.

This show had me watching every second of it. The slow ep about Cobel where they showed us how she grew up and why there was so much madness behind her freaky eyes. ???? The conversation between iMark and OMark?
Okay, byeee🍃
