it seems like time fly faster and faster and i realised maybe it's because i always live in the what coming instead of the now. so i'm trying to slow things down a little, slow my mind down and enjoying the day for what it is. sounds cliché, i know, but i feel less anxious about life since i stopped projecting myself into a future i didn't want.

I spent years wishing I was already there, somewhere, a completely made up situation that I would obsess over in my head and it made the current moment excruciating to exist in, years later I’ve realised how fast time actually goes, I’ve wasted years being somewhere else in my head only to end up looking back on my 20s not remembering half of it because I wasn’t actually there. Now I try to be mindful every time I notice myself getting lost in the future and drag myself back by putting my phone down, doing something creative, going out in nature and literally just, you know, touching grass instead of obsessing over what’s to come or what’s not to come in the future.

i used to (and still do) freak out so bad thinking about the future and whatnot, but i have found that if i make myself focus on the present moment, i am almost instantly calmed. AND, this forces you to savor the time you are currently in so you’ll hopefully remember it better. i try and notice little details in the moment because that’s what will bring me back to the memory easiest later on. i think you just kinda have to remember that there’s only so much you can actually control with the passage of time (that being how you choose to experience the present moment), and what you can’t control will eventually work itself out if you let it.

i think settling into your life is a feeling that creeps up on you. as someone who struggles with being present, i need to constantly practise gratitude or even my dream life kinda passes me by. i think it's human nature to be constantly looking for the next best thing, but it takes a lot of awareness to realize you've already made it on so many facets. thinking about my younger self and the pride they'd feel looking at present me is grounding and brings me lots of perspective.

I started doing this lately and feel like it's a good way to know more about the movie production but also the society context snd time period the movie has been made.
I think it's interesting to reflect on how the time has changed since (especially for older movies) or what was the inspirations and things like that.
Anyway, highly recommend !

there is something very fascinating about listening to older people talking together.
i'm currently at my parents house and some old friends they haven't seen in 20 years just drop by, unannounced. listening to them remembering some old memories, catching up and even gossiping make me realised that growing up is not that scary. in a way, it's just a concept ?
maybe i needed that tonight.
