When time Flies...

Time is a moving ship. It is beyond human control and it is something that gives lessons that makes you, what they say, ‘wiser’. Time changes and so do you. You either get better or get worse. Change is mandatory. It is and will be an essential portion in human life. We all go through changes which is required for the sake of variety in life.

Just as Shakespeare divided human life into seven stages, life really has stages and different phases. I haven’t experienced all those stages yet but this is as far as I got.

Remember when you were into cartoons and fairy tales. When the only games you played were hide & seek and fire & ice. When you thought the moon follows you. When you wanted to have everything that you couldn't have and how you could just cry and whine to get them. How you thought your parents were some kind of superheroes who could do almost everything and anything you wanted. Remember when you couldn't wait to grow up? It feels like yesterday doesn't it?

It feels like yesterday, you first got that sensational feeling of attraction towards someone. How you liked that the way they looked and the way they smelled. How you sang love songs and only love songs. How you thought your parents didn't understand you at all and your friends get each point of you. How you tried hard to be cool and took that cigarette and blew away the smoke. It was all yesterday?

Was it all yesterday? When you first joined high school and how you felt like a grown up and you owned the world. When having fun was the only mantra and how you went on road trips with your friends after bunking classes. How dating was fierce and how love relationships took over your priorities .How your freedom mattered the most when your parents questioned your new look. How you couldn’t wait to grow more and leave high school forever.

And it also feels like yesterday when you decided to follow your dreams and get more responsible. How you started valuing money and how you finally knew what relationships really were. When you realized how much your family matters to you and how much you need them in your life. When you got ready to fight for your identity and prove your worth.

Yes it does feel like yesterday but BAM!! It’s today…when you realize you’re growing up and leaving behind all those things and taking nothing but memories (and some captured memories, i.e.

., photographs) that too will fade as time goes by. Is it only me? Or anybody else too feels this? You know the feeling that time is running away and so many things are changing, people are leaving, people are coming..Things become different. You change, your thought process changes, your priorities are different etcetera etcetera. This leaves me emotional! I get a strange nerve-racking feeling and a sense of loss. Oh! The mix of emotions…wave of sentimental feelings. All at once.

I feel if I could hold time for a while and say, “Hey there, calm down! What’s the hurry?” I really wish I could do that and just pause time for a while, if only that was actually possible.

But time has to flow and life has to go on and the earth has to spin…we can’t help but be the puppets of time and destiny. Today again will be the yesterday someday and so will the tomorrow. Because this is the way it is. This is the way the whole universe wants it to be.

If time travelling really is possible then I would definitely love to relive the beautiful memories of my life ONCE MORE!!! You only experience things in your life once. I swear nothing can be re-done; everything has its first and last time. So, unless we can actually time travel I suggest you to live your present to the fullest. Cause this time, this moment isn't getting back, because time flies and you can never catch it with your hands. NEVER.
