Things happen in between. Falling in love that is. A friend reminded me of that yesterday, and as a true romantic, I need to hear that—always focusing on my next ‘conquest’ leaves me adrift from enjoying the present. However, lately, I’ve been able to take a step back. Perhaps it’s my New Years resolution to lockdown that’s helped, or the cosmic universe. Whatever it is, I think it’s helped me to focus less on what happens next, and more on what’s happening now, and why. Because moment becomes memory in an instant, and then all you have is the Polaroid in your mind. What you choose to do with it is up to you. I just hope that I can say, that in that image, that moment, I was enjoying it and not pondering or feeling anxious about what might happen next.
