Time

time.

it’s one of the most unforgiving things that we as humans are forced to experience.

yes, forced.

much like the way that our heart beats as long as we live, time continues….. until it doesn’t.

moments are fleeting and we’re all slowly moving towards whatever it is that follows death.

we’re constantly looking forward to our next big break, regretting our last decision, hoping for something more, mourning a loss, and all the while time continues to eat at us from the other side.

time doesn’t slow for emotions or heartbreak. it doesn’t take a break for highs or overwhelming joys. and it certainly doesn’t pause for a millisecond longer just to resume right back where it started.

that’s the thing about our own ever-ticking clocks- they’re a constant reminder that even when things seem perfect or maybe not so perfect, time never stops progressing.

…so don’t forget to feel the moment that you’re in. whether it’s extreme pain and heartbreak or immense joy, this exact moment is only once. You can’t replay it no matter how much you beg Time to give you mercy.

even if you say you’re sorry or admit to taking advantage of the pastimes that most often consume you with overwhelming feelings of nostalgia, Time simply shrugs his shoulders and remain merciless in your begging.
