We travel through the river of life via stepping stones. These stones don't represent any specific changes or advancements, just merely events and stages of life. As I hop across, I take a look back, and take a look around me. I see others taking their time, casually moving from one rock to the next, whenever they want to. Maybe even stopping to rest every now and then.

If only I was allowed to.

I don't get that privilege. I don't get to stop and think, or take my time. It seems that each time I move onto a new spot, it instantly starts crumbing beneath me. I'm barely able to catch my balance before I'm forced to move onto a new stone, or be swept away into the river.

Maybe this view of life is always why I feel so rushed. I can never have a clean plate, oh so rarely a relaxing day. There's always someone or something to complicate it all. In some ways, maybe it does offer some advantage. I'm able to see more, do more... experience more. But every now and then, I'd really like to slow down and catch up on some much needed rest...

I think you are over thinking things a bit, nothing wrong with that though.

You need a good breather. Go to the rest room and don't come out until your done thinking. Or pooping. Either one.

When you get a chance to take a break from whatever is making your life busy, think about something you enjoy doing but haven't done in a while. Then go grab some buddies (ignore thsi if it's something that you can only do on your own) and do it. Do you enjoy bowling but haven't gone in a while? Find some spare time, grab your friends and enjoy yourself. You get the idea.

If you start pooping, I'd say you rather also stay there until you're done.
Thinking.. That can be done elsewhere.

And about the analogy in the OP of life being a river with stepping stones.. I would be that one guy who takes a few steps, then walks back and just stays laying on the grass on the side he started at, looking at the clouds/stars.
But the grass is always greener on the other side, so...

*jealousy*

Spoiler

It's an analogy of sorts as well. I really am a bit envious of people who are active and manage to achieve something, while I'm lazing around

Thanks guys, all of your advice is extremely helpful.

I don't get to stop and think, or take my time.

"DUDE SLOW DOWN LOL"

That would be the issue; telling him that he needs to slow down isn't helpful at all because he already knows that.
