Hi,
I wasnt quite sure where to place this thread but since it has a serious undertone to it I thought it could have its place in the study.
Now for the reason Im writing this;
I'm currently in my second week of university, and absolutely loving it, however most people have gone home for the weekend and its given me some time to think (not good). What I was thinking was, that eventually this is all going to end and that I know Im going to miss it, this I know will happen eventually and I know that I should not worry about it until it happens and enjoy the moment to the full, however one problem I am having is truely appreciating the situation that Im in. I know that Im happy here, I can look out on campus and think that one day I will miss this, so I try and memorise what it looks like and how I feel, however even though I know Im happy, I dont feel happy because it doesnt feel like Im appreciating the moment fully enough. Maybe something to do with either not remembering (since I have a rather poor memory). Its not really the case of worrying about losing it, because I know that that will happen and I've accepted that, its more of the case of not appreciating the time that I do have, fully, right now!
What am I doing wrong? Is this related to the power of now in some way? What advice would anybody give me?
In relation to this, is this what most people feel at times? Do we really go the way around this world and not appreciate what we have? Is it a human condition we are born with? Or are we wrapped up too much in our own life?
Your comments please
Kind Regards
