One thing that will never cease to amaze me is the speed at which time goes by, and as I get older, it just seems to go by faster and faster.
When I was young I remember feeling that I had all the time in the world. Nothing was an impossibility. Everything would just happen later. As I got older I realised that things didn’t just happen. People made things happen. Then I started noticing that I had to start making things happen, because no one else was going to do it for me.
I guess the more I realised that, the more I felt the sands of time flowing through my fingers, and the more I felt the need to stop the flowing sand.
As time goes on, I now realise that not only is the time for enjoying “things” escaping, but so is the time for enjoying the people I love too. The people I love (my family and friends) are much more important to me than anything else on this Earth and beyond. Their health and happiness is what I most desire.
To my loved ones, thank you for being a part of my life. I adore you with all of my being, and I pray that we will have many countless more years of health and happiness together.
