"I'm often asked what I think about as I run. Usually the people who ask this have never run long distances themselves. I always ponder the question. What exactly do I think about when I'm running? I don't have a clue.
On cold days I guess I think a little about how cold it is. And about the heat on hot days. When I'm sad I think a little about sadness. When I'm happy I think a little about happiness."
- Haruki Murakami
reading this book about running and life and listening to Nick Drake at the same time, a certain realization hits me: this is life, and i am living it. good or bad things might happen to me, time might pass, people might die, but this is all we have. the only thing we can do is to keep living, as best as we can.
it's the only way.
