Time

By Gregory Low - April 09, 2015

Time only goes forwards. It never reverses for anyone , pauses for anyone , or skips ahead for anyone. It's just constant. And along the way, the good , the bad and everything in between will happen to everyone . From graduation , to retirement , to losing someone close to you.

Few days back my mum messaged me that my grandmother ( mums side ) can no longer walk properly , which can only be a sign of old age where all your bones are all brittle and weak. I'm not very close to anyone from my mums side , but I wish my grandma good health and a long prosperity life ahead of her.

Earlier this morning , my grandma ( dads side ) woke up to go to use the toilet when she slipped and hit her head on the bedside table. She received a very deep wound on her ear so my dad had to bring her to the hospital to get treatment , which she had to get 6 stitches. Ouch ! 

But now that I have some time to think about the mesmerizing thing we call life , everyone's running out of time. Regardless of how young / old you are , you should make use of every second you have in your grasp to do something that will make you happen. Seize every opportunity to make your stay on this Earth a worth one.

Both my grandma's don't have much time left , which I try not to think about often but I'm just facing the truth where everyone we care about in this Earth has a sand clock counting down, and when they run out of sand , it's all over. 

Life is basically you alone in the universe , with the first two people you meet that you call "parents" which guide you to your future. Along the way you'll meet people you call "friends" which supports you throughout the way. But picture those two parties as flames , eventually the fizzle off and you're left alone to venture yourself. 

Before the flames fizzle off you gotta do something with it , roast marshmallows , tell tall tales , ghost stories , and many more. That basically means spending quality time with those that you care about and the people that care about YOU !

There comes a point of time where you meet your prince / princess , where you'll dedicate all your time to that person because of love . You'd go through the scorching flames just to make them notice you , and for them to accept you . That's when you manage to break the stone walls , and can live happily ever after. 

But regardless of what kind of fairy tale your life might be , everything comes to an end. It's all in a matter of time . Not a single second of your life should you waste on doing something unproductive. Every second is worth an infinity , and using those efficiently , could create a dreamland far beyond what you'd hoped your life to turn out to become.

At the end of the day , spend those precious moments with the people who you love , and those that love you too. As the flames won't stay burning forever. Make every second count BEFORE the fire fizzles off.
