Time really goes by easily. When I was a kid I told myself that at 28 either I'd be a priest or I'd be married. I'm turning 27 this year and clearly the first option is not gonna happen, It probably won't happen ever. Maybe in a parallel world it will-- if a parallel world even exists. And the second option? It will happen, but not at 28. I'm not even in a serious relationship. For now, let's tag it as "it's complicated". Having stated thus, let's leave it at that.
I've made a lot of tough decisions in life. Some of which I'm still suffering the consequences. But, I don't regret any of them. Those decisions made me who I am now. As time goes by, we learn a lot of things, some of which we have to learn the hard way. We make mistakes, we fall and we break. But at the end of the day, we pick ourselves up, piece by piece we try to make ourselves whole again and inch by inch we get closer to our goal and become a much better person.
"Time is gold", this is what we usually say when asked for a motto, and we probably all laughed once when a a friend said this because it's the most common of all quotes. But come to think of it, time really is gold. Time is something that we can never buy back. Once it's lost, it's lost forever. What's left of us are the glimpse and remnants of what memory we have of a certain period, pieces of puzzle that we've worked hard to complete and the outcome depending on how we used time.
"Time = Life, Therefore, waste your time and waste your life, or master your time and master your life." - Alan Lakein
