There are three types of people in the world for her:
The ones who run forwards, pining for the future, wanting the next stage of their life to happen already.
Those who sit still, looking over their shoulder at the past, not quite ready to continue with their life.
Then there are those, like her, who walk slowly taking the time to admire the view all around them. Not rushing yet still going on.
If she were to be honest, it's hard not to feel pity for them both. For the one who wants to leave the past behind and for the one who doesn't want to face the future.
She does not like the feeling of pity, it settles within her heart and sits there like a stone.
So instead of pitying them, she gently grabs the past onlooker by the shoulders to haul them upright and snags the wrist of the future seeker as they dash by.
In the moment the two gaze at her in confusion she smiles and tugs them both forward in a silent bid for them follow.
'Come, walk with me.'
This is a little dabble about how people are always waiting for the next thing in their life to happen or are looking at the past longingly.
It is also about those who see life as it is in the moment and wish for others to see it the same way they do.

This will not be the only piece of writing about this concept, I'm also going to write a poem about this, a much more short sweet and to the point write-up.
