It scares the crap out of me when I have to go to the doctor’s or when I have to retrieve lab results. It always reminds me of how mortal I am, how old I am becoming (not much at all but still), how fragile and ephemeral life is.

And then I think of all the things I want to achieve in life. And I wonder if I can achieve them if something.. unfortunate happened to me. And I take a break from all the hustling and desiring, to remember to slow down even for just a little while… Take in the atmosphere, and savor the moment. Savor my health, youth, life. For in this very moment it is mine. Tomorrow may have something else to say.
