" I want to stay still and to keep moving. I want this life and another. "

Sometimes in life, we want to be still and wait for cherishing the moments and processing the action while at the same time we want to keep moving forward. The conflict of moving on and staying at the same place can be chaotic and peaceful at the same time.

It's okay to have this feeling, sometimes we need to pause the moment and reflect on what's going on in order to move forward in life.
