i will not prey over meaningless times spent grasping at empty air over what used to be the best day of our lives. it’s not good for me. but in all honesty, what is. was someone supposed to tell me the difference between worthwhile and frivolous? a seminar i missed maybe? does it matter? because time spent without worry of its worth is well spent. time spent around those you love is well spent. time spent laughing, crying, creating has to be well spent. time spent exploring cities and wildernesses you will never see again is well spent, with someone you’ll never see again is well spent. it’s a decision to enjoy it and to live those meaningless times without the regret that it wasn’t productive or useful to you. that makes it well spent. why am i here if not to waste time in the morning making a coffee i’ll forget to drink later. only because the ritual wakes me up.
