Time flies
That's right it's fall! Fall officially started this Sunday, September 22. Can you believe it? Not to mention, it's also Friday! Seriously, time really does fly. My question is, where does it go?
When I was younger, I would always hear "make good use of your time", or "don't wish for time to go faster", "don't wish to grow up faster", "cherish each day". Of course, I was young so all these things just sounded like adults being adults, so I never really took the time to listen to these comments and really understand them. Now, as I've gotten older, many of those comments make sense.
When you're 13 you're ready to be 16. When you're 16 you're ready to be 18. Then it's 18 ready for 21. 21 and you start thinking that you don't want to grow up and look old. You hit 30 and it somewhat freaks you out. 35 and you' re 5 years closer to 40. 40 and now you are considered over the hill. 50, and you ask "where did the time go?". 55, and you're starting to take more medicine to help your body regulate itself because you're no longer able to bounce back from things like you did in your 20s. 60, and your inner monologue is repeating "wow". By your 70s, your closest friend is your doctor or doctors. 80s, your body starts to become stubborn and only allows you to move at its convenience. 90s, well, by 90, you deserve a pat on the back and a party- you did it!
So see, time flies. It really does. Everyone has heard also, that when you want time to go slow it speeds up. When time goes fast, you need it to slow down. Very clever "time" is. (that's an awkward sentence...instead, it should say, Time is very clever. It's tricky, it is one step ahead, and always full of surprises. However that isn't necessarily a bad thing.
The Rolling Stones said it best "time, it's on my side". By wishing and wanting, we've already sort of set ourselves up for a kind of expectation that will probably lead to a let down, rather then just allowing time to do its thing and run it's (its) course. I feel it's what we do with the time we have that is important. You know, by making the most of it. Yes, "cherishing it" and enjoying every minute of it. That is how we make long lasting memories. Good or bad. Remember, you have to take the good with the bad and vice versa.
To go back to the beginning, like I said, it's fall. It seems as if I was just here a year ago-which is true. However there have been significant changes and developments. Perhaps there are ways to build on that even more. Yeah, I said it!
What you want to do with your time is completely up to you. Just know though it can change its course in the blink of an eye. So use it to YOUR greatest advantage.
