I found that these days I like calm.
I like the ocean, when it’s nearing sunset. I like warm tea before bed. I like how the constant drizzle of rain are now my favourite lullaby. These days my life has been moving at a constant pace. I feel like I know what I’m doing, for once tomorrow doesn’t seem too scary anymore. It’s a comfort I look forward to everytime night falls. Life used to be so fast paced. It was tongue burning coffee and 7am trains, people and faces blur in comparison, a fleeting image painted on the back of my retina, not important enough to commit to memory. I’m 22 this year and these days I like warm tea and weekly walk to the park. I tried smiling at a stranger once and couldn’t stop ever since. It’s nice to slow down once in awhile. Living life high on adrenaline is so fun until it drains you and strips you bare, you forget your purpose and who you are. Slow down, slow down. One day you’ll thank yourself.
