What time is it
After these many years of living (thankful indeed!), I am quite sure some people has had the same realization as mine, that Time is a precious resource. You cannot produce it, you cannot add it. You cannot have it back, but yet you cannot refuse it either. Or at least not yet, but I am pretty sure will not be for a while, but if a kind of time manipulating capability exist in the universe, please do come to me and prevent me from publishing this. No? well, *...long disappointed sigh*.
In any case,
I have difficulty in understanding people who says how they feel time flies by so fast. I rarely feel so. I remember my seconds of anxiety, minutes of joy, hours of hard work, days of accomplishments, weeks of planning, months of contemplation, years of wonder and so on. Just because time flies by that fast, doesn't mean it has to FEEL fast. You can sometimes replay them in your mind. Relearn past experiences. We are created with the fascinating organic hard drive that is our brain. It can be your time machine if you let it work as it could.
And so comes the next challenge in this matter of time. Balancing between living in the past, the present and the future. Some people are so anchored with the past, with either successful memories or heavy failures. There are others, ever looking forward without being fully aware of their current footing. I always find it difficult to be all of the above in moderation. One thing I realize though, as more birthdays I had, I find myself commenting on new stuff based on my past negative experiences rather than exciting future potential.
I guess I would like to master that more... the ability to not dwell too long in one mode and never totally rejecting any kind of attitude towards the movement of time altogether.
but oh how difficult that is indeed *...long disappointed sigh*.
