I’m often intrigued whenever I watch a movie or program in which the lens zoom in on a character for a couple of minutes of focus and everything about that person is put on a standstill momentarily.
Well, I had one of those moments yesterday.
I thought I had pressed the button for the lift but apparently I didn’t. I stood there waiting for the door to open and of course it didn’t. In my mind, I was waiting. In reality, I was experiencing a standstill. But nobody was watching.
If I were to translate this to something more understandable, then perhaps I can call it my mid life crisis. When everything around me is switching gear. When time is passing by too fast. When my fears seem frightfully real. And I’m still stuck in a state of denial.
I wish I can say what is happening but I can’t. I can’t because I don’t know for sure. So everything is at a standstill now, until I can confirm that whatever I think I’m having is just a figment of my imagination. Or not. Meanwhile, life goes on as per normal and hopefully when I do know the answer, I can safely say this standstill, like the movie scenes, was just as unreal.
Hope it’s really your imagination.. whatever you are feeling..

Haven’t had such a feeling yet because I’m always busy, busy, busy.
