One of those best things with hard work is that it makes the rest of the world go away. And while normally, hard work isn't the best thing in the world because it is--after all--hard, it can on occasions like these be exactly what was needed.
As for how I reached this realization today...I'm not really sure. But it just suddenly hit me like that. I had been working for practically three hours straight, completely focused on what I was doing, absolutely oblivious of the rest of the world. I didn't even realize that my thought process was any different from the ordinary.
Yet as soon as I looked up when I was done, the entire world came rushing back at me. And I mean quite literally rushing at me. The instant I looked up and looked around me, it was as though a flood of emotions, memories, thoughts, and just about everything, came rushing at me.
I had no idea that I had set aside so much of my thought process, so much of everything that seems to predominate my conscious reasoning in order to work. Nor could I have imagined the force with which it all came back. And it was strange. But so much more, then, I can appreciate the value of hard work. If only as a way to forget the world for a bit.
