It seems you can feel like you are not living your life, well enough,full enough and good enough.
I'm always plagued by days where I feel everyone else is taking the right step but me, Like I'm forever walking with an 'under construction' sign on my forehead.
I don't think I'm unhappy, I actually quite love where I am right now but as with anything; there's always room for improvement.
So now what do I do?
I think I need to learn to tune out everyone else's beat and jam to my own with all the enthusiasm and energy I have.
Granted I'm inspired by people who have a grasp on their own rhythms but the dreams we chase differ and that in itself makes us all GOOD ENOUGH!

TALK ABOUT FAST!
Is it me or is the world moving fast? or my world at least,
If we are not talking-texting-calling-emailing-shopping-partying-drinking it's something else! Haai nna I'm tired, is it natural for us to be rushing absolutely everything? a person can't have a well thought out conversation anymore, people want to know now! I can't call back or reply to that sms/email a couple of days later after I've thought of my response. Maybe that's the problem, minimal thinking is being done. The modern age doesn't seem to value time for reflection or meditation, we are constantly running at high speeds. We, most, rather I sleep with my phone next to me, phones are at our dinner tables, weddings, funerals, you name it! It seems you are rude or have to be of a certain social standing if you ask individuals to leave their phones in their bags or cars. Even with strict instructions to switch them off, there's always that one person who is adamant their phone won't ring, we've all experienced this and it's usually at a particularly awkward moment. I must say I've also seen how Blackberry's have changed the nature of relationships, as a person still resisting having one, it seems I'll be forever wondering why I'm not part of the addictive BBM world, one step or many behind in conversations.
I'm already bothered that I check my facebook/twitter/gmail accounts so much. My phone is tucked under my pillow at night and despite that it's much more convenient to snooze my alarm (three times) before I wake up. It's the first and last thing I see each day.I have understandably so, ignored my LinkedIn account, my yahoo and my two other gmail accounts, plus I have two blogs!
I'll be the first to admit that I'm far from an internet obsessed, new age media junkie, I'm not wired that way despite my many accounts.
I still prefer writing pen and paper style than typing and reading a physical book instead of my notebook.
I'm not sure what made me think I could be a techno savvy participant, maybe it's my publishing background , the influence of all things digital but whatever it is,PLEASE SLOW DOWN! I love quiet uninfluenced days with no beeps and junkie itches to check what everyone else in the world is up to. The challenge is not to be bothered if my phone is charged or not, such evil! :)
