Life has its way of making us move faster than we expect ourselves to. What started out as the first day of school is all of a sudden fast forwarded a year and here we are. November 1st of 2008. Even the days we have nothing to do we bore ourselves so much that our free times have come to an end and we're back to where we started - stressing over the next paper, the next project, the next bitchy professor or the next big crush. And it never really stops, so why am I blogging about something that seems rather pointless to even talk about?

As rapid the movement of the sun is from sunset to sundown, we owe the quick passing of time to hours and hours of work, hundreds of talks with loved ones or watching How I Met Your Mother when homework and people are absent.

And I do love life and I love doing what I want to do but I can't help the feeling of wanting to just slow down and take some time to myself. No, that doesn't include endless marathons of movies and series.

My idea of "me time" right now is more of just taking a day to go to a coffee shop, ordering some coffee (duh) with a good book in hand, sit down and spend the rest of my day just there, reading. In the middle of the buzz of life where people sit with a person or more, chitchatting, laughing and animatedly sharing gossip, I want to sit there for just a few hours and be very very still from the movement.

I want to be released from the grasp of life just to think and read. 

I want to take those hours and spend it on nothing but me because as much as the sum of life makes everything worth it, I can't help but feel for a second to just watch from the sidelines and let everything wash over me.

In short, I just really want some coffee.
