The fast life: Are we losing the gift of slow?

Mother and daughter sitting together on a hammock, sharing a quiet moment.

Lately I’ve been wondering, are we speeding up so much that we’re forgetting how to just be? Some of you might relate, others might think I’m overthinking it. This piece is me processing what it means to live slowly in a world that’s moving faster than ever.
