Chasing Moments: Is There Ever Enough Time?

Good evening my dear readers, I’m sitting here, candles flickering like hopeful flames amidst the chaos of life. The world is loud, messy, and endlessly pulling us in every direction. Yet, every so often, there’s a moment—a quiet pause—that makes you stop and wonder: Am I really living this, or is life just speeding by while I’m stuck on autopilot? Moments come and go so fast, it’s easy to miss them. But when you stop to notice, you realize those moments hold everything.

2025 started like a wild storm—chaotic and unpredictable. Maybe you made plans, promised yourself you’d be better, healthier, or happier this year. But now it feels like life is moving too fast, and all those good intentions are crumpled in the corner, gathering dust. It’s not your fault. The world is relentless, and time feels like it’s always slipping through your fingers.

And then there are the people—the ones who come and go, leaving marks on your life in ways you didn’t expect. Some people stay, but many don’t. It’s a harsh truth, but it’s also a clarifying one. Who makes time for you? Who shows up, even when it’s inconvenient? If they can’t, maybe they were never really meant to be part of your story. Hard to hear, but freeing when you embrace it.

Someone once said that when you travel far enough, you meet yourself. But maybe it’s not about meeting yourself—it’s about discovering what truly matters. When you step back from the noise, the distractions, and the expectations, you see what fills your cup and what drains it. Life isn’t about chasing moments that look good to others; it’s about finding the ones that feel good to you. The laughter that makes your stomach hurt, the adventures that leave you breathless, the quiet moments that feel like peace.

Time is a tricky thing. It moves whether you’re ready or not, but you get to decide how you spend it. Stop letting the clock dictate your happiness. If something doesn’t feel right, change it. If someone doesn’t make time for you, let them go. Life is too short to waste on anything less than what makes you feel alive.

So here’s the challenge: don’t just exist. Live. Be bold with your time. Chase the messy, ridiculous, beautiful moments that remind you why you’re here. Forget perfection, forget appearances. Light the candles, embrace the chaos, and hold on tight to the moments that make your heart race. Time won’t wait for you—so stop waiting for it.

Xoxo,
