Has time felt like it’s been on super speed mode to anyone else lately? I blinked and I went from the beaches of Cancun, Mexico to a wedding in the woods of West Virginia with fall in full effect. While in reality, these two events happened 4 months apart from one another, it feels like yesterday.

I think time feeling as though it’s “flying” is due to the 9-5 lifestyle. Everyone on Monday talks about how they cannot wait until Friday, then when Sunday rolls around, we’re all questioning where the week went. It’s alarming how quickly life is actually passing us all by, waiting for the next day or counting the minutes until the weekend.

Throughout the rest of the year, I’m going to be challenging myself to live more in the present day. To not be relying on the weekends to bring me excitement. To not be glued to my phone or laptop. To live presently and fully at all times. You should join me!
