time goes by so slowly for those who wait

" life is in the details. "
-- jigar patel

err dammit. I quoted jigar patel. and andy bernard from the office, you should know what I mean if you're cool. so I got to thinking after my (sometimes) wise friend said that to me during one of our usual arguments, it's true. details make life. not just the random array of moments and instances, I mean..yeah they do, but what makes those significant? the details. why was that dinner special? why was that concert spectacular? why was that weekend amazing? sure, the overall experience becomes a pleasant blur, but small things stand out to make you want to recall that weekend in your mind over and over again like a playlist on repeat.


sometimes people pay too close attention to the details, which definitely gives life a more serious twist. it is possible to overlook details and enjoy life just as much, just make sure to give details importance. there's nothing wrong with being serious from time to time, just keep in mind that it's never ridiculous to look away from details occasionally, either. just be sure never to forget to live life, and remember which details make life worth living.


just find your balance. never pay too much attention to details to the point where you can't relax, also keeping in mind never to relax too much to the point where you can't focus on details. lovely way the world works, isn't it? sometimes it's funny how nobody finds the right answer until it's no longer needed.
