The Fast Paced World – Growing Up with Time
When we are young, tomorrow often seems so far away and yesterday is already a distant memory. But before we know it, tomorrow has arrived, and we can look back on yesterday with nostalgia and newfound appreciation. As we go through life, time has a funny way of reminding us that life is fleeting and that it won’t stay the same. As the days go by, the realization of the speed at which we are all aging and growing up hits us like a freight train.
As we grow, time keeps moving forward and this inevitability can feel daunting at times. We may find ourselves missing the times we spent with friends, wishing for an opportunity to recreate them, but sometimes this is impossible. The truth is that we have all grown up and as much as it pains us to accept, we’re different now. We may still share the same interests, but we may be different people now, looking to different pursuits.
As we embrace the fast paced world, let us also acknowledge that this growing up has not come without its lessons. With each step we take, we become wiser and understand that life is not just about yesterday and tomorrow, but living in the present. Our journeys may not always be smooth but with each day, each month and each year that passes, we can strive to create meaningful memories and strive to take lessons from them. Life can be a challenge but if we use our past experiences and learn to appreciate each moment that life gives us, then perhaps we can use the forward movement of time to our advantage.
