I remember when I was just hitting my teens and my dad had told me that as I would get older, time would go by faster and before I knew it I would be in my 30s. Being in that mentality that I was practically immortal and having enjoyed the long days of summer, I could not understand or believe my father's words. Time back then just seemed to go by in slower motion. It seemed like an eternity until my birthday, or Christmas, or Halloween, or summertime. The only instances of experiencing the speed of time was when the final days of summer arrived before school started again or when an actual celebration was going on or when I had to present in front of the class.
Within the past few years, I have really revisited my father's words of wisdom. AND ALAS, IT'S TRUE, HERE I AM, IN MY 30s, AND TIME IS FLYING BY!!!!! I now have to say, SLOW DOWN!!!!!
What makes time fly by so fast as we get older? I believe it's the increase in responsibilities and tasks that we must complete. Our days become filled with things we must get done and the downtime lessens. We really do have to make the effort to stop and smell the roses!
This fast pace speed of time really makes me miss those slower days. Yet, now I have a better appreciation for the downtime as I know it's an opportunity to take time out and just be!!!! Bye for now!!!
