Do you need time?
Time is an essential need of mine, whatever it is for.
A time to think things over, before making decisions. It does not guarantee me a hundred percent success rate, but I like how I spend time thinking things over. I’ve tried doing things without thinking, I used to go rushing things on. It gave me not only failure but also regret.
A time to spend reflecting on myself. If I made a mistake or did something out of my usual, I sought time to reflect. May it result in success or failure, and I reflect on it. It’s more of a time for self-validation, like dear self that was awesome! You made it! Or a Hmm what went wrong? What did I do? blah blah blah.
A time to appreciate the things that are given to me. Adults who work full-time are usually the ones who lose time to appreciate things, too busy that sometimes they don’t even see the changes that occur in their surroundings. A friend who cuts hair, a colleague who loses weight or displays a new look. The new tree in the park, the wall paints at the usual neighbourhood that he went on in everyday. And even himself, the existence of his own existence. The changes of his own, the things he failed to appreciate about himself.
There was even a time when I needed to heal my broken heart. I had it once, twice or even more. We get heartbroken for many reasons right? It could be from a failed relationship, with a lover. Neglected and ignored by people who are supposed to acknowledge us, for failing to succeed in what we do. Losing a friend, and realizing that we haven’t been kind to ourselves. Time is needed to recover and be healed.
A time to refill, I’m half an introverted person and an extroverted. When I go all out in the crowd, I get exhausted. Literally exhausted. I would need time to be alone, and go back to my comfort zone without being bothered and interrupted. Sometimes it takes weeks, a month to months and even a year. Time for me is very important.
So yeah! I absolutely needed time for a song as I choose to live.
