the sky was beautiful today, a smooth sapphire blue throughout, the whites of clouds professionally blended onto the blue, with a intrusion of orange during sunset.

or has the sky always been this wonderful ?

just that we never looked up, but busied ourselves with everything but nature.

it was only when i had all the time to myself today and stayed in my room the entire day, did i realise all the things we usually miss. equipped with just a book, i had the time to survey my room, to survey everything that used to be nothing. still, books and lecture notes sprawled all over the table but this time i see the dust that never got noticed. i saw my posters all backdated and old. i saw photographs and the trophies and the ranks i used to be so proud of.

when time passes so fast, do we all want to forget and take in the present, or are we not able to keep up constantly, and can only miss them when we think about them again? or do we just need more time to reflect? or should cherish them before its all too late?
