How is time measured? Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years? But what really is the value of them? Some days go by fast, some go by slow.. what makes that happen? Why does time even matter so much? What happened to living day by day? Today, we seem to be living in a society that runs at such a rapid pace that we often forget to live. We are so consumed by deadlines, due dates and crammed schedules that we do not take it one day at a time. The days turn in to weeks which turn into years and soon enough you are on your death bed. What happened? Where did the time go? It truly does fly by.
Today my friend Jordyn and I sat in my dorm room chatting, avoiding studying and doing homework for this upcoming week. We somehow started talking about deep shit like we always do. The topic we mainly focused on was time. We have approximately 3 weeks left of our freshman year in college. Excuse me...? WHAT? Almost done with our freshman year? I honestly thought move-in day was last week. Didn't Mike and Sami get engaged yesterday? No, that was 4 months ago already. And didn't we just graduate? Wasn't I just worrying about who was going to ask me to prom? You're telling me I have been done with skating for over a year now? Didn't I just make the decisions to switch high school after ninth grade? Wait a minute. Can we just pause everything and take it all in? Ha, SIKE! I wish.
I remember in high school the days would go by so slow then it would be friday and I would think "wow that went by fast". But in college, the days go by insanely quick and the weeks go by even quicker (except Sunday's because they are homework days and they suck). I don't want time to go by this fast. I want to cherish each moment I have. i do not want to be paraded around on a tight schedule where I won't be happy. Why can't we live our lives on our own timing? Sure the sun rises and sets regularly but why do we have to abide to them?
Time should just take a chill pill and slowwwwwwww doooowwwwnnnnnnn.
Plz & Thx.
