We are moments

We are moments, passing moments and a succession of memories. We are travelers in time, in a fraction of the world in which we establish our lives as if it were to last forever. But the truth is that we are fleeting, we are like footprints in the sand that the waves erase instantly. However, despite this, we believe that we are cement.

We insist on living in the story of what hurts us and in the regret of not having what we lack and we forget to live what we have. We let time slip away without thinking that nothing is eternalneither what you love nor what hurts you, because in reality we are a succession of moments, we are passing moments.

We want everything at once, we have no room for respite, everything is fast, everything happens and nothing is enjoyed. In the world of fast food, express appointments and schedules full of work appointments, we have lost perspective on the value of time, worrying more about suffering than about the pleasure of the simple things in life.

We are crazy people who don’t know how to live in the moment

We are crazy people who don’t know how to live in the moment. We prefer to go quickly looking at the ground instead of enjoying the place where we are. We prefer to run to get anywhere instead of walking and breathing in what surrounds us. We prefer to let time slip through our fingers than to grasp the moment tightly to live it without fear.

We want everything quickly because there is always something more important, something beyond enjoying the present moment and we forget to enjoy what we have, because we never stop long enough to realize it. We live locked in a time tunnel, a dark tunnel with a single light at the bottom that prevents us from seeing what surrounds us and that pushes us to go blind towards that uncertain future.

We are moments that we live as if we were eternal. We are moments that do not enjoy what we have around us at all times. We behave as if there is already time to enjoy the good things when, in reality, we are missing out.

We are “masocas” installed in suffering

And on the other hand, when something hurts us, we are “masocas” installed in suffering. We immerse ourselves in the pain and embrace the complaint as if there was nothing more in the world than our problems. We blind ourselves to that pain and stop seeing what else is out there.

We dig into our wounds slowly and without looking for solutions. Our conversations become monotonous day by day because we stop our watches on what hurts us. We are moments less when we suffer, then we are eternal and harmful.

In that black hole of suffering in which we gladly see ourselves immersed, we blind ourselves to the light that makes us get out of our problems because we are only capable of feeling that since we always let the good escape. We forget to remind ourselves that we are moments and the pain is temporary.

If we are moments, let’s live them without fear

Therefore, it is better to remind ourselves that if we are moments, it is best to live them fully and without fear.. We choose how we spend our moments. We can say that a glass of water is half full or we can say that it is half empty and both positions are correct, but the most optimistic way is the one that will make you enjoy life the most.

You have to think that everything happens, everything changes and everything can be modified. We can decide how we live our own situations, both good and bad.. We can enjoy each present moment without it escaping us and we can escape suffering without it catching us, but accepting both in their proper measure.

You decide how to spend each moment, how to color each memory and how to accept each moment. You live your life and shape your present. Only you can decide to enjoy every step of the way or hold on to your fears and not enjoy every moment.

Only you can prevent when your end comes from wanting to ask time for time to miss what you haven’t done. No one can give more time to the clock, moments pass, you decide if you take advantage of them or let them pass. Every second counts, live and don’t look back, live or else you will regret it.
