It’s funny how different time moves. No block of time passes in the same way; it moves faster than it should when on vacation, and slowest during the last hour of work that stands between you and the weekend. And how quickly it all seems to go when you go from being the youngest person in the room to the oldest now.
I am not the same me as I was from six years ago, from a decade ago, from sixteen years ago.
I am always reminded of how this will always be the youngest and the oldest I will ever be in this lifetime. People have come, left, died and been born. Some born again. Some who are still alive and yet strangely not living. Some gone forever.
Growing older is like the changing of seasons, you will never know how it happened, it just does, and you are haunted by the things that you’ve always wanted to do and haven’t. You wonder if you will ever find the will to do them. To finally not be guileless, to not be gutless, and act on wants from so long ago that you no longer remember them or how much you’ve wanted them in the first place.
Funny how things change with time. The things we want, the life we wanted and then settled for.
