Time. It progresses in a consistent manner – second by second. Nothing in this world can slow it down or, speed it up. We are at the mercy of this indifferent force of nature. Despite its robotic nature, time is perceived in many different ways. A thousand years is nothing to our blinding Sun. When in great pain thirty seconds feel longer than it is.
Time has this dirty trick of creeping up on people, me in particular. Its already October, I’ve been out of college for four months and yet, it feels like only yesterday I was walking into its gates for the first time. It feels like only yesterday, I was experiencing my first day of school in Primary School, or the day where I pushed that bully into a storm drain (don’t worry he lives) or the bus ride back home after winning the Kawad competition, or the first time I met my younger sister right after she was born. All these significant days, feel like yesterday. They aren’t all good days, but most are. I’ve been fortunate enough to be born without a rusty spoon in my mouth, although not silver, it is still fortunate.
I’m nineteen today. When a birthday arrives its hard not to think of two things: one, is this what I wanted to be last year. Two, what will change next year. Many things have changed, and when I think about it I wonder how these changes took place. As a child, I was meek. Today, I’m not meek anymore. In fact, I now hate the meek. They are just so meek.
I could go on rambling about the things that I should have done in the past or worst, ramble about the things I will do. No, that would be boring and self-indulgent instead, this post ends here.
My next project is called gaming fasting. I will try to not play video games in any form for as long as I can.
By the light of the MOOOOOOOOOOON! POOF!
Happy Leif Erikson 19th Happy Birthday!!!
