We all do it !
Time spent running....chasing down that elusive something, someone.
It is when we suddenly run out of breath that it occurs to us the ridiculousness of our actions !
We all have that one friend, some of us may have more than one....and that is a misfortune of our own making.
As we grow, we must form boundaries......those invisible lines that should not be crossed at any cost, you can spend a lifetime making room for that person who is always running late, the friend that is always so busy with this or that !
At some point, we learn.....it may take a while, but we do get to that moment in time where we lose interest in the chase.
As individuals we are a strange species, our behaviors are as varied and colourful as the flowers in a garden, and that is a wonderful thing.....but when some blooms demand more sunlight than others, action needs to be taken.
We all have our journey ahead, lives to lead, places to be, people to see......there are time when we are genuinely busy....but there are also times when we are not, so we make an excuse, pretend to be so overwhelmed by our duties that honesty fly's away like a feather on the breeze. In these times, patterns start to emerge and you begin to understand the nature of those around you.....it is these times that cause you to alter your course, change your behavior....stop feeding this hungry bird for fear of it leaves you with nothing for yourself !
It may suit you to chase the wind......but know this, you will never catch it, you will arrive at the end of your life and notice the wind has gone on ahead of you, still waiting for you to catch up !
