Pause.

Every so often, time appears to drag at the perfect place in time. For instance at the top of a ferris wheel, right before you know your the next person getting off of the ride, because only one other cart was occupied and they're exiting while you- the fortunate of the two passengers- gets to sit on top of the world for a few brief moments, and admire the less superior below you. Not that your boasting, you just make a conscious decision right then and there, as you feel the wheel come to a halt and your cart is rocking slightly enough to make you nervous, but it's the best kind of exhilaration one can get while riding a small towns ferris wheel.. Anyway, you make the decision on the spot to examine everything your feeling at that exact moment, you choose to not rush through that minute, and to soak it in, to appreciate it, and in return, because you were so observant and tuned into the world right then and there, the memory becomes vivid, and sticks out in the thousands of files labeled, "Good Moments" in your lifetime.
The fun thing about instances, is that there cannot and will never be two perspectives that are the same. Our eyes move quickly, and each sight, smell, or sound wave can trigger a different memory that reminds us of a time we felt a certain way, and then instantly we feel the way we did in the little movie clip projecting in our subconscious.
CAUTION: I advise you to press pause if the clip lasts longer than 1 minute
At that point, your probably zoning out.


The worst thing a person can do is close their eyes to a moment in the past to miss the beauty of the right now. Don't get me wrong, its absolutely wonderful to reminisce, to be nostalgic sometimes... heck, its even okay to mourn when need be, but if your anything like me, sometimes my visual memory distracts me from whats right in front of me.

Im probably making no sense.
O well.
