Do you ever just feel life is too fast?

I think you need to listen to the song "This Too Shall Pass" by Danny Schmidt.

I feel like that too. Lately I've been doing a lot of difficult stuff that's really important to my future that I have no time to relax. I really felt like I needed to do everything as fast as I can before the others and life itself left me behind. I remember the last time I actually relaxed and smiled, it felt so refreshing to actually do it again after so long. That realization crashed down on me and suddenly started crying a bit. Weird, huh? At least I got it out of my system But I believe we should at least make a little time for ourselves to relax and enjoy. I think if we just take some time every now and then to appreciate it, then maybe life wouldn't feel too fast anymore.

I understand so much. I feel like life is flying by way to fast. Things that happen are just a blur to me. Like, I just realized that something that I thought was recent, happened a year ago. There's a song by Emmy Rossum, called "Slow me down". I want to just stay still for a while. To just pause time and take a break. So, whenever I try to do that, I just get more and more freaked out because I know I'm just wasting time when I should be doing other things. It stresses me out so much.

Thank you. I'm 21 years old and haven't even lived because there is always another goal (society's goal not mine). I looked around and saw that everywhere, people who are able to enjoy just being, but I couldn't. I thought I was alone and now know I'm not.
