"We cannot waste time. We can only waste ourselves."
--George M. Adams
"Carpe Diem"-Seize the moment,a term repeated time and again but rarely pondered upon.Do we really strike when the iron is hot???My mind goes all cloudy every time I envision a Carpe Diem moment simply because it hasn't occurred. Doubt,fear,regret,remorse,despair all consequences of shying away from carpe diem. Something I came across whilst skimming through the pages of 50 shades of Grey-the much loved and loathed adult fiction sensation.No this is not about my secret fascination with the book and all of that but it just got me thinking how there's that one time we've always wanted to stand up and voice an opinion, how we've always wanted to tell that one person that they mean the world to you,that job you always wanted to take,maybe even that square dancing lesson,that time that would've been yours,that opportunity lost,that moment passed.
She stopped and stared at the mix up of words on her computer screen Random...pure randomness....No direction,no meaning,no rhyme,no substance.Hollow and meaningless maybe to the world but to her ;a little bit of herself for the world to see.She smiled,a serene smile of satisfaction.
"I did it,let out a little bit of the bottled up emotion, little by little I will live through carpe diem."
The 'me' sights-This is just what I call a BTW post,Not writing for a while has turned me quite rusty but then again that is how I emote,a simple tangle of words-a release to all my clotted emotions.This is about the much missed opportunity,maybe I've not mastered the art to perfection,but I'm getting there or so I'd like to believe ;)
