It’s already Feburary

I recall being a young one and hearing my grandmother say to enjoy each moment, because as you get older time just starts to go faster. Of course as a child I didn’t really understand/believe this because here I was getting older (10-11-12-13 etc) and time still always seem to drag on. School took what felt like forever until you could leave, Weekends never seem to get here fast enough, and there was always SO much to do on the weekend.

Then, I grew up. I got into college life and I started to feel real responsibility. No more just going to school and “being”. Now I had to worry about school, homework/labs, bills, food, and life.  Here I was only 18 and excited to see the world and be in it, and then time started to fly by.

No longer was nights about staying up to have hours of conversation with someone, playing that level over & over until you beat the boss, watching your favorite movie because you have no time in the day.  Now its about sleeping so you can focus on your tasks during the day, when you will eat, how much you need to earn to pay bills, when each bill is due, how to split your paychecks to pay it all.  Then I start to see it, days turn to weeks turn to months.

I think back to those moments of youth and my grandmother, and I realize She was right.  Where has time gone?  I mean here I am 35 going to be 36 this August and truly the way my life was/ran a mere 10 years ago was SO different then today.  I miss just having the sense of freeing nature to do what I want, when I want. To create moments/memories where its not the day to day life.
Don’t get me wrong I love my life and I am happy but it did make me realize that time really does just slip past us.

While doing some reading on this, I can across this short little blog & it really sparked this.
