Unnecessary Things

“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.”
— Maya Angelou

Sometimes I get too preoccupied with the former. That is why I need quotes such as this one to remind me of the things that I may be doing wrong or taking for granted. With so many stuff to occupy one’s fancy, how do you choose which one to give your devotion to? In my life, I have the necessary and the unnecessary. What makes me happy is beyond category; or so I’d like to think, because quite frankly it doesn’t happen often that things take my breath away.  I wish it would, though. And I wish that I’d at least learn to prioritize; sometimes I feel like I’m steering towards the wrong path and worrying about improbable destinies, like buying dash kits before even owning a car. I think it would be beautiful, though – to have your breath taken away sometimes.

    me, too. it’s very rare that i get that “take my breath away” experience, but when it does, it feels wonderful! :)

    yes. sometimes i find it amazing that we can focus on a completely trivial thing when there is so much more that we need to think about. i’m often guilty of this :)

    still, i think the rarer these “breathtaking moments” are, the more we appreciate them because when they occur, they do so with indelible clarity that they are forever engraved in our minds.
