Living in the moment involves appreciating the times between major events. This involves acknowledging the grief experienced when life feels stagnant or uncertain, especially during transitions. Individuals may feel a tension between their desires for change and external limitations like finances or stability in relationships. The longing for exploration, described by the German term "Fernweh," represents a deep yearning for distant places and new experiences. Such feelings have historical roots in Romanticism, highlighting a sense of dissatisfaction with the familiar and an appetite for adventure.
Living in the moment is learning how to live between the big moments. It is learning how to make the most of the in-betweens and having the audacity to make those moments just as exciting.
There's a peculiar grief that doesn't often get named. It lives in the moments when you're neither here nor there. When your soul says go, but your bank account or relationship or circumstance says not yet. It's the grief of the in-between.
