Today I sat out in my backyard
Facing the lake and enjoying the patio set
Coffee in hand
I made sure to choose one of my nice mugs
Mind you, the coffee tastes the same in any mug
But I thought the picture will just look nicer
So I sat there trying to find the best angle to capture it with the background
The best filter
A clever caption
But then I thought, why am I working so damn hard to share this simple moment?
It’s just another day and another cup of coffee.
So I deleted everything and put my phone down
This moment isn’t for social media
It’s my moment
Just me and the view
No music. Just the sound of the breeze
And all the birds and the bees
I haven’t felt this serene in so long
As if time stood still just for me
Just so I can catch my breath
And be still in this ever hasty world
I wanted to keep that moment to myself
And yet here I am sharing it with you
I guess this is why we're called social creatures.
