Choices

We make decisions all the time, about all kinds of things. Big things, small things. Significant things, insignificant things. But all choices nevertheless. These things somehow will affect our lives, even if they're tiny changes. Even if we won't really notice it. But if we pay attention to whatever decisions we make, we might change what we are and how we act. Since I chose to be here now, something will change. The fact that my brother walked into my room and made sounds, was his choice, but will change my present. And probably my actions in the next five minutes. While this was such a small event in a lifetime, it will cause things to happen, or not to happen. Whatever that is, I won't know, especially not if I don't pay attention to what it happening.
Most people walk around with their heads low, staring at the ground. This is a choice they make, probably not even thinking about it. We always hurry along, never stop to take a look around. I love cycling. For the small reason that I can pay attention to the world around me. Being not cars or other traffic related things, but the beauty of the world we live in. I love it how it feels like I'm lost in time when I see a bird struggle in the wind, moving his body, working to stay alive. The moment takes a maximum of a few seconds, but it's worth so much. I can truly enjoy being alone sometimes. Since these special moments, are my own. No one else will see that tree the way I see it, enjoy the walk as much as I can. People can be very annoying on moments like those.
I usually don't chose moments like that. They just happen somehow. But I do pay attention and notice the specialness of them. I wish for people to experience the same feeling, have those moment of their own. I feel that if we would treasure more of the world around us, people would be less stressed and less worried.
Therefore I hate the fact right now is the 5th of December and my parents are calling me to start our Saint Nick's eve. Although I know it will be nice, it will be a change. I won't be able to write down things that seem important, significant.
But I'm sure we'll have a good time nevertheless.
