Perfect time

Ever wondered how life is perfect for a few seconds? Just a few seconds..not minutes, not hours but a few seconds? You exist in a plane of happiness and the event. The anticipation builds. You walk restlessly up and down. The colours are muted. You constantly worry your lips, fingers. You stare off in the distance, wondering when it will happen. You think of the possibilities that could happen. You could have the happiness you want. It comes with a cost. You could be happy provided you lose something. The permutations are endless. And yet you want it to happen. It could be a new move in your personal life, professional life.
It is as simple as getting a new bike or deciding to walk to the office. The decision gives you happiness. And then you walk. And then the next stage of worrying begins. Will you reach on time? Will there be any untoward encounters? Will there be this or that?
How do I freeze the few perfect moments? Just the happiness before I start worrying. When you read a happy news and just enjoy the news for a few seconds and then everything comes crashing down. Reality bites you.
I measure my life in perfect seconds, not in minutes or hours, just seconds.
