Trapped in Time
Time; life's biggest constraint. It holds us hostage with it's limits.
When we have nothing to do it seems that there's so much of it, yet when we're having a good time, there never seems to be enough.
Every day is one, giant, revolving clock. Each moment that passes is taken by ticks of the clock. I sit here idly listening to the clock strum its own vigorous melody as I think about how many things I'm missing. I think about the friends I've missed seeing, messages I've failed to answer, paperwork I've not completed, appointments I've never made...so many things to be done and yet, here I sit.
I, much like most of the world, am yet another victim of time. I don't know whether I don't have enough of it or if I've just been using it wrong, all along.
There's the saying that you should "use your time wisely", but what does that mean?
What takes priority?
I always have to do lists, but I never know where to begin.
I've always wanted a lot of things out of life.
Now, I want to travel, pay off my loans, go to grad school, get married, have a family, actually do WELL in my job, live stress free, rescue animals, teach a self-esteem class for young girls, volunteer in a soup kitchen, buy a house.....
All of these wants and desires, and here I sit, perfectly still. I'm making no move towards my goals. Time is wasting away and I don't have a single answer on where my life is headed. We're supposed to use our time "wisely", but who decides what makes it wise?
You waste time in jobs you hate, relationships that don't work, and get stuck, financially.
Somedays I just want to stop the clock. If only we could pause the world and take a step back. We just need to evaluate. We live in such a fast-paced world where people get married young and rush to grow up. What happened to living in the moment? Relishing in the little things? What gives you purpose?
I miss volunteering and helping others. I've become so caught up in our "timed" world that I've truly forgotten what is important. Having goals is important, but we can't let ourselves waste away in our big ideas. We can strive for excellence and run towards our dreams, but we should take our time and relish in each passing step.
Every single second of your life counts. Every word you use, every tear you shed, every hug you give, every song you sing, and every person you failed to see..
Don't let the object of time make you forget the little things in life.
Everything good is a blessing.
Share it.
Enjoy it.
Relish in it.
Don't take people for granted and don't waste time.
