Stop

Stop thinking every second of every day. Stop talking when silence is golden. Stop trying to be someone you're not. Stop expecting people to be like you. Stop wishing for something that isn't going to happen. Stop being dramatic about every little detail of your life. Just slow down, come to a stop, and breathe.

Look around you. Do you see beauty? Look inside you. Are you happy? Is your stomach full? Have you slept well? Are you in touch with your friends? What more, then, could you want? Smell a rose or an exotic spice. Listen to music by Chopin or Bach. Touch a piece of soft cloth. Let your senses give you nothing but pleasure for now.

The world doesn't stop moving, people don't stop living, and tasks will always need doing. It can all wait. Your life is what matters most. Don't rush things, you are swimming against the current if you do. Lay down, relax, and let it all go.

Just be.
