So…here’s the thing. I’ve been thinking a lot about how much we (Americans) value time.

Time is money.           Don’t waste time.               How do you spend your time?

I’ve decided I don’t buy it. I don’t want to spend my life counting minutes, ruled by a schedule that dictates how many important tasks I can fit into an hour, a day, a week. I keep hearing this line from Coldplay’s “We Never Change”:

“I want to live my life and have friends around”

and I think that’s it. Each day, I’m working more on embracing moments for what they are, fretting less over what I should or shouldn’t be doing with the minutes as they pass. Living here; living now.

p.s. Hangovers make sustaining a thought for more than 3 minutes pretty difficult.
