the moment

here i am sitting in front of my laptop on a saturday afternoon . listening to Jay Chou. the sun spills through my curtains making rainbows on the ceiling. staring out my window at the swaying trees and orange rooftops, i experience a moment of peace. its the same when you sit down on the grass in the middle of a field surrounded by tall trees and a lake shimmering in front of you. you get that feeling of serenity and peacefulness and that you're not the center of everything. the world doesn't revolve around you. you're just a small speck in this huge world and you feel ur problems become smaller. that huge 3000 word essay that is due the next day doesn't seem that big anymore. sitting out there with the warmth of the sun splashing on my face, a group of cute brown ducklings follow their mother to the lake you feel amazed by the simple yet complex things in life. It puts your life into perspective. u wonder why do u always feel stressed out or sad over the smallest matters and now looking at a duck with her ducklings u find urself wishing that u were one of the ducklings. ahh to be young again. protected under the wings of your mom. not a care in the world. don't we all wish we could go back in time and relive our childhood? looking up at the beautifl blue sky, a surge of emotions pushes u to the brink of tears. u r momentarily lost in the moment and all ur troubles are forgotten. there is only the moment. if everybody took a moment to just lie down in the middle of a green field, they would not have to see a psychologist because they would realise that they have been thinking of the small picture and not the big picture. that they have been seeing the world on a 14" tv with 1 channel and not a wide screen, high divinition TV with Foxtel or ASTRO. Life is like eating ur favourite food. there are times where we should just eat that chocolate and not think of the repercussions like getting fat cos life's too short to waste it on not doing the things that we like. i think i would like to go to the field now.
