When the moment passes you by

My goal this year was to write a blog at least per month, this is not too much asking, this is not too much effort.

Right? Wrong!

Life passing you by…

I remember that one sentence from the movie “My best friend’s wedding” with Julia Roberts.

First of all, love that movie, the cast, the story, the music, all of it.

But that sentence resonated with me, I know the sentence “That moment passes you by”.

It is about love opportunity in this instance but I believe it is relevant to all aspects of life.

When you have the urge to say something that you feel you will regret if you do not say it, you should follow your instant because that moment, that opportunity will never come back.

In the end you do not know what you have been different for you if you have acted in that moment but could it have made a difference in your life?

In the end you do not know because the moment passed you by…..

Why did you let it pass?

The question is why did you let go of that moment in time.

Was it cowardice, in case of romance the fear to be rejected?

If you are rejected then you will be miserable?

But not acting did that make you miserable wondering if you could have had that chance and never took it and now it is too late?

Sticking with romance, I remember a specific moment that passed me by.

I was back from holidays where I had met that guy. But at the time I had a boyfriend and he had a girlfriend so we just were friends but there was definitely chemistry….summer romance.

Anyway nothing happened on holidays because of see above for reasons which 2 months later had disappeared.

Met again for an afternoon, first of all, that was it, did not see one another for months, met only during the holidays but kept in touch….before mobile phone time. So that says it all.

We spend a lovely afternoon together, trying to figure out where we are going.

In the end return to the place where we are supposed to meet our rides and the moment is there.

We hold hands, we look at one another eyes and we have that split moment when our heads get closer and just before the landing kiss, his ride hunk the horn and stop the process.

Flustered we let go of one another and live for the day.

Now our communication if by phone, old fashion phone and we do not know when our next meeting will be.

Life goes on, I meet someone else and that is it the moment has passed, we are not in the friend zone with our respective lives with different partners.

Would our whole life been different if that kiss had landed?

Would our friendship ended sooner? Would we have realised it was not a true friendship but until that kissed eventually happened years later and ended in disaster, we could not close that door….

This is a specific moment where I always and will always wonder what would have happened if the kiss happened then and will always actually regret trying to recapture the moment years later, ending one of my most favourite friendship which I still miss 30 years later.

Once the moment passing you by, I think you can never get that moment back for good or for bad

So seize the moment, what does not kill makes you stronger…..

Life is easy when it has happened

So anyway, as mentioned thinking back of my life……which has passed

Everything is so easy once you can reflect on it, and my above paragraph can be written years or decades after the event.

But you only know that the moment has passed you by, because it has passed you by.

This miss opportunity, is only a miss opportunity because you missed it.

Makes sense?

And now the moment is gone so this will cut that blog short because my life has caught up with me.

So this might feel like a half thought process because the process was disrupted but unfotunately this is how my brain works.

I write by inspiration but when this inspiration is disturbed then I cannot start again.

To be honest this blog was started without a real ending so this will do

Until next time …..
