Did anyone else notice that as you grow up you begin to feel like you're losing time. Like you reach high school and you're like, "Hey, where'd my time go? Oops. Must've lost it on my way to maturity..." Yep yep yep. At least for me, it was like once I hit around 8th or 9th grade I started to become more conscious of time. My homework load increased and so did the time it took to do it, so I would pay more and more attention to the clock hoping that it wasn't later than it really was. Time seemed to go faster, and that was much much worse. It's a bittersweet thing really. An Ironic thing might I add, for as children we want things to go by faster, like our trip to the dentist's office, but instead time goes by slower. However, when you reach a certain age you want time to go by slower so you can get everything on your plate done with, and yet time goes by much to fast. At some point, it even begins to bother you so much that you stop trying to deal with it altogether and you end up procrastinating until you realize time is still to fast and that you still can't ignore it. What a life! It's kinda sad too, because, when you think about it, humans as a species decided that time would have a measure, when in reality time is immeasurable, as said my Khalil Gibran in The Prophet. We decided that time goes by fast because we decided to contain it and make it mean something. Now we are bound by it, and our beautiful creation has become our worst enemy. We try to make it better, and yet we are still bound by the laws we created. As I said before. It is a bittersweet thing, and only we can decide what we do with it. Either we let it control us, or we accept it as a friend. Either way, we must, as individuals, handle our creation and choose how it shall affect us. (Steps off soapbox. Drops the mike). ... By the way, I thought of this while listening to Time in a Bottle by Jim Croce. It's a fantastic song, and it is also found in one of the best scenes in the movie Wolverine.
