Stressed Out

Do you ever feel like life is too fast

When life says you’ve got this

Sometimes it feels like a joke

Everything is moving quickly

Time won’t let you slow down

I need time to breath

I need time to pause

But the stress of this life won’t let me slow down

    Yes, I often feel like this. You put it into words perfectly.

  • I absolutely feel like this, often. I do practice "Mindfulness" but I go way off track even so. Try to remember to slow your inner self down. I know it's easier said than done.
