Bubbles of Time

“Half my life is an act of revision.” – John Irving

Boy ain’t this the truth. I’m constantly looking for ways to fully appreciate moments while I’m in them and even after they are gone. I’m much better at letting experiences go these days. Mostly so that I can enjoy new ones. Before I’d cling so hard to moments that it’d take away from the amazing ones I had in front of me. I clung to them because I wanted them to be even better. I wanted them to get better and better and better as I grew up. But that’s not the way experiences work. They are their own little bubbles of time that collect in our minds. They have a time and place where they existed and that’s what makes them so beautiful.

How does this quote make you feel?

Jayne is a writer. On her free time she likes to be with her family hiking outdoors and traveling. New England is her home and place of birth. When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
