Next.

  What's next? We live in a world where what is next is nearly more important than what is now. From the day we are born, we are taught to anticipate what is next. While its a blessing, I mean its a sign of progress and forward movement, I can't help but think that this is also a curse.

   Many of us enter relationships with our minds subconsciously thinking, "who's next?" and then wonder what happened when the relationship hits a brick wall and both parties abscond. Even more scarily, many a times we enter into marriages with this same mindset. Worse still, many of us can't believe that after marriage, there's no 'next'. Why are we so eager to find out what or who is next? And why is it so hard for us to understand that peharps, there is nothing next. Who knows, maybe we may actually begin to enjoy now.

    Now is beautiful. Now is all we have. Now is all we are sure of. I understand that we are progressive creatures but will we die if we just savoured the time we are given in sweet moments called now? I highly doubt that. Many times, we spend our time counting down days or waiting for the 30th of a month that only began. Will we ever be satisfied with just now? With nothing next? I don't know. However I do that to be in constant anticipation of what is next cannot be good for any of us. Relax, have a good day and don't waste now, thinking about what's next!

Have a wonderful day beautiful people!
