Half seconds and such... ?

Question

Have you ever held an elevator even though no one was there, just thinking that maybe you would meet someone that was worth those extra few seconds whenever you do it? Or perhaps waited after someone leaving to see if they would come back... as in standing in the elevator doorway... not until the alarm goes off, but just for a few seconds... we aren't talking obsessive here people...

I am just asking because my friends who met in the elevator just told me they were getting married and I once wrote a small philosophy about how those 15 seconds can change someone's life.

I also walked a girl who I kinda knew home once and left her and the door shutting was a really harsh sound, but she came back out when I fiddled with my iPod for a second, might have missed that chance and it was good... So share either your belief in these things, if you do anything small like that, and I know it is kinda obvious but if seconds can change your life, and if they have. Thanks.

Every second we are alive changes our life.  We just waste so many of them, that they over shadow the precious ones.

However, your question did bring to mind once  something that happened to me by holding the elevator once too.  I heard the someone coming down the hall so I held the button open.  This guy got on the elevator, and the door closed.  We were the only two on the elevator, 33rd floor, and going down, this guy, to whom I had never seen before but only spoke just then a hello, moved directly next to me as I was standing in the corner.  And proceeded to kiss me.

I was smart enough not to get too upset about it, but told him to back off, he did he apologized but then asked me out.  I told him as we hit the ground floor, sure, come on my car was out front with my husband and two kids in it.  He ran..........literly .   It was funny.  Actually what a jerk, I found out that he was a lawyer on the same floor where I was a paralegal-oddly I NEVER saw him again on any elevator, nor hallway must of took to taking the stairs.  Wonder if this could of been a form of assault?

Or that my 6 ft.4 hubby had anything to do with it? Can't imagine him being scared off by the kids!

I like the question, I am starring it.

Answer 3

Yes absolutely..seconds can change life. Imagine...all the times when u met someone u dated eventually..or someone who eventually became a good friend. U might think of situations where u might have missed them by seconds. The right place, the right time...and things can happen. But these are so unplanned. How do we know it's the right place and the right time? Hence I just live my life....the way it comes to me and the way I feel like channeling it. What happens..happens along my way...

I am also quite spontaneous. I think that's a good thing.

I might think of going to place A but a deep feeling might make me want to go to Place B instead. I follow my instincts. Never know what awaits u.

The difference between life and death is but a heartbeat. 1.2 seconds when at rest. Imagine what can transpire within a single deep breath. When our heart stops, we function for about four minutes. The remains of a lifetime.
