Too Close

Have you ever held something so close to your eyes that they blur out?



Such an irony, isn’t it? We bring things closer in order to see better, in order to focus on them, but there’s also a point where it crosses the line and they get too close and become a blur.

We do that to life sometimes too. Hyperfocusing on one or a few things and we miss the whole picture. A microscopic view that shuts everything and everyone else out. The sad thing is, sometimes the things we deemed as so important and are working so hard on can become a blur to us too. Because we got too close, too locked in, and held on too tightly. “What was this all about again? How does this relate to the big picture? What was it that I really wanted when I started this?”
