Slow down...and realize sometimes

This past summer on a beautiful day when I was on the train, I happened to sit across from 4 teenagers. There was one girl and 3 boys. They were just chatting and enjoying each others’ company. Then after a few minutes of silence the girl put her head on one of the boy’s shoulder. And the boy put his head on hers. Then the other two boys looked at each other in confusion and smiled/giggled. I couldn’t help but crack a smile, either. Its moments like these I like to remember. It reminds me to not get blind sighted and remember what‘s really special and meaningful to me in my life. Unfortunately for me this moment came too late for some things, but hopefully in time for others. =)

Billy Joel-Vienna lyrics

Slow down you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile But then if you're so smart tell me why You are still so afraid?
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about? You better cool it off before you burn it out You got so much to do and only So many hours in a day

But you know that when the truth is told That you can get what you want Or you can just get old You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
When will you realize...Vienna waits for you

Slow down you're doing fine You can't be everything you want to be Before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight
Too bad but it's the life you lead You're so ahead of yourself That you forgot what you need Though you can see when you're wrong

You know you can't always see when you're right You got your passion you got your pride But don't you know only fools are satisfied? Dream on but don't imagine they'll all come true
When will you realize Vienna waits for you

Slow down you crazy child Take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while It's alright you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize... Vienna waits for you. But you know that when the truth is told That you can get what you want Or you can just get old You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through Why don't you realize...Vienna waits for you When will you realize...Vienna waits for you
