I couldn’t possibly think of a better time to write – to reflect; when the sun begins to fade and the day draws to an end. When you take the time to stand – even sit still for a brief second and absorb the chaos that surrounds you, you realise how significant pauses like these can be when reflecting on moments past gone.

A pause. A deep breath. A stoppage in time when the day’s burdens are momentarily forgotten. A time where the memories we’ve made throughout our day, throughout our journey can be remembered – relived even. As our minds begin to drift, we allow our imagination to briefly take over. Eyes appearing wider, smiles beginning to grow – to curve, and eventually we reach the point where we’ve taken a fleeting step back in time – until reality awakens us.

It’s reflections like these that make the burdens worth suffering, the insignificant feel powerful and the chaos a reminder to pause – to breath.

And exhale.
