A Slow Life — A Musing!

A slow life. A life where we have enough time to introspect. A life where we can have the scope of knowing our own mistakes. Where we give ourselves an area to even make mistakes of different kinds. As if we’re waiting once in a while for a mistake to happen; with unknown people, at unknown places, at unknown times. A slow life where we think about ourselves to think about the people we are around. To know every now and then about maintaining boundaries. To be aware of our thoughts — to be aware of our health. The kind of slow we can sit with ourselves all alone. A slow life. To be okay to be on the road of randomness, for months (and even years) for the person we’d like to be around, for the work we’d enjoy doing, for the routine that aligns with our body and mind. A slow life — to not live for the sake. A slow life — to let the life suitable for us, choose us. For us to not chase the life we are sold to. For us to let that life chase us. Slowly, nonetheless.
