slow is cool

last night, i rediscovered how enjoyable playing the guitar is again.
i think it has this cathartic effect on me man.

but wow, when i picked my guitar up last night, it felt as if the last time i touched it was devastatingly long ago.
you see, ever since the holidays began, i've been busy trying to keep myself busy...
so much so that honestly speaking, i really haven't played for a while now.
and we are currently standing at 3 and a half weeks.

which led me to think, why?

why all this pre-occupation, till even taking time off at night to chill and play the guitar is forsaken?
isn't this the holidays? and aren't we supposed to rest and relax?

life shouldn't always be a rush, and we shouldn't be working all the time.
like all those people in the streets, the train stations, the commercial districts...
why are they always rushing?
for buses, for taxis, for trains.
even on foot they walk at a blistering pace.

and for what purpose?

rush to wait, wait to rush...

sometimes in life, it's about slowing down to enjoy the view.
to appreciate those around you.
and to cherish the moments.

there's really no point rushing everywhere if you don't stop to take a good look around you once in a while.
i believe the journey matters more than the end point yea?
so if you're one of those people, always rushing head-down from point A to point B...
do slow down once in a while and take a good look around you.

ever finally reached your destination but couldn't remember how you got there?


what do i have to do?
to try to make you see
that this is who i am
and it's all that i can be


i won't let you go
i won't let you down
i won't give you up
don't you give up on me now...
