We all crave for something we cannot have. At least from time to time. I think we can all agree on one thing we all want, but simply can't have - time. Sometimes we are late for the bus, ran out of time on a exam, wish time would pass slower when surrounded with friends, having a good time. Time always flies by so fast when we're having a good time and is going by sooo slow when we're bored, having nothing to do or wishing we were somewhere else. Otherwise, I think time is about making it. Maybe that doesn't really sound at all logical, but let me explain it. There's a wonderful quote by Eric Roth: "Our lives are defined by opportunities. Even the ones we miss." So that's what I'm really talking about here. Opportunities and what makes it worth our while. We ran out of time for certain opportunities. For instance, we wanted to tell somebody we loved them in the park or something like that and you're interrupted by some guy or a thing, not really the matter of importance. Then we think we missed our shot and that everything's lost or it's maybe just not meant to be. Like this is God giving you a second chance. Well, I don't believe in things like that. Maybe in some sort of coincidences, but otherwise I think we create our own destiny. By our actions, words and the chances we take on a daily basis. We're not even aware how many things we take for granted these days. We risk so much every day, like we can get hit by a car or shot (okay, maybe that's not so often, but it's an example, you never know) or have to go through something that breaks our hearts. We're so much tougher than we think. We go through so many difficult states in our lives, so many people we just have to bear and so many things we have to let go for our sake. But we can be crushed by so many little things, we think of them so greatly that sometimes we let them rule our minds. I think time is a part of those things. Because time, however, is our ruler.
Even though sometimes things don't work out as we wish they would, we still have to find the best in that kind of situation. For those are the situations that make you a real person. They force you into making such decisions you'd never make in your normal state, but here you are. Facing such problems that life has put you into. But we have to suck it in. We have to take it, you see, because if not, we will be perished. Perished by time. Life doesn't care if we don't move on or if we don't go along with the time. It will swallow you without you even knowing and slowly you'll forget where you went wrong. That's why it is so important that we take as many chances as we can. Use as many opportunities as we can. Love as much as our hearts are capable of loving. But that's already kinda a contemplation, with which I do not wish to confuse you. I just want to give time a bigger meaning and at the same time, stop making people making a fuss about it. This doesn't really make any sense at all, does it? Well, again, here goes my explanation. I want people to realize how important time is in the meaning how our lives are depend on it. But on the other hand, people always give it a bit bigger meaning than it is necessary. Because we need to give time time. I'm sure you've heard of that one before. Just never really knew what's the meaning behind it, right? It's about letting it slide, going with the flow and see where things go. I agree on that kind of perception of time and I totally defend it myself. Although, I'm more for this kind of theory: you should make as much as you can in a certain, small amount of time that you're given. Because only then you'll truly understand the meaning of time and life. Well, that's kinda big suspicion to make, but let's take that risk, just for the hell of it. Tell someone you love them, help your parents, go out with friends, paint, read, explore and have fun. Now it's all good and nice, now let me tell you the whole point. Try to do it all in one day. Of course, a person with a tight timetable is kinda deprived of that certain privilege. But still, try to imagine it. It sounds like an interesting, exciting life, doesn't it? Many of you might think that it's some sort of made up life and that you have no chance of actually experiencing that kind of life. But guess what? You can make it your life.
Probs you're wondering 'How the hell am I supposed to make it my life? Is this chick completely bonkers?' Well, it's not that hard, once you try. But people are so afraid of failure, they don't even try. That's the saddest part of humanity. We don't help each other to make it through or helping someone making their dream come true. No, we'd rather whine about our poor little lives and sit on our ass, wondering how's it like outside? The wild zone. Definitely not what you've expect it, that I can assure you. So. Without further ado, I'd like to tell you how do you actually make your own life so bloody interesting and impossibly fascinating. Ready? You live. You take the opportunities, you enjoy each moment. You do whatever you want to do in that moment; whether is it jogging or slacking, doesn't really matter. I know I gave such appealing example, but it really doesn't matter. Why? Because it's your life. The key of having a happy life is to live it the way you want it. I know that's not always possible and I can think of some reasons why. But, like I've said before, the thing is to enjoy each minute, each breath you are given. Okay, maybe I'm describing an over-excited and annoying optimist, but here's the thing. Life of an optimist is sweeter and greater. Happy people don't have everything that is the best. They make the best of everything. I saw this on Tumblr some time ago and it has never left my mind ever since. Some things are just carved inside my mind that never seem to be able to let go. I think it's a good thing though, although sometimes you remember things you wish you were able to forget. But let's continue with our subject here and waste no more time. Oh, the irony!
We are addicted to time, our life is depend on it. We take it for granted, other times we think it's the most important thing in our life. That's just no way to live life, agree? So we need to find a balance. A healthy line between realizing how important time is, but not letting it rule you. Not letting it control your mind is probably more important than realizing it's significant, because we all know that already. We know that if you're a minute late to the bus, you can miss (for instance) the interview for your dream job. There's this beautiful, also quite long, quote about valuing and cherishing the time we have: "To realize the value of one year, ask a student who failed a grade. To realize a value of one month, ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby. To realize the value of one day, ask a person who was born on the 29th of February. To realize the value of one minute, ask a person who missed the bus. To realize the value of one second, ask a person who just avoided an accident. To realize the value of one millisecond, ask a person who won silver medal on Olympics." It is a long ass quote, but it's true. But we experience all this in our lives, maybe some people are more sensitive about it, some might think of it in a different way, but one thing stays the same. Time. No matter who you are, no matter where life takes you, you end up somewhere. Somewhere you've been taken by the path of life and you have no influence on that. That doesn't really apply that I believe in such thing as destiny. Well, in some way I do. Like for instance, it's all already written for you. Even if you take a chance, to contradict the nature and universe itself, you're gonna end up somewhere that you are meant to be. You'll get out of that situation and learn something. We always do.
I won't deny that sometimes I wish I had another chance, or a bit more time, or sometimes I'd even go back or ahead in time. Things probably never work out as quite as we wanted them to. But maybe that's the magic. That's the point. I still haven't figured it all out yet, but who has? Maybe trying to do so will ruin the whole thing. I know one thing for sure: that I have learned to let go and not care. I started to enjoy moments and small occasions because I know, I truly know inside my heart, that things will work out in the end. Because they always do. I'm not saying that you should keep saying that in your mind, to take things for granted. It's just about letting it go with the flow. Sometimes you have to let the situation guide you, you know? For things you do in that moment, are the reflection of your true self. You don't think about the past, you don't worry about the future, you live in the present. That is when you find peace.
And while making such a fuss about this tick-tock thing ... To think about it from realistic's P.O.V., you realize that time doesn't really exist. It's not even real, it's something humans made up to keep on tracks with their activities and obligations. Live as though there truly is not time. Believe it. And you'll start appreciating things. I don't know, be late for school. Go to sleep earlier. Wake up earlier. Do your daily routines a bit differently and you'll notice the difference instantly. Maybe it will confuse you, due to the ability of adjustment for certain way of lifestyle. But that doesn't mean change is wrong. It doesn't mean your future is doomed. It means you're headed for something new, the unknown. Which doesn't always mean a bad thing. You're doing something else for you and changing and spicing things up a little bit is always adventurous, trust me.
So my conclusion on this subject would gather all the things I've already mentioned. My personal life-guiding rules. Rules to live by. And I started to realize things are not as complicated as we make them so. We just have to go with the pace of life and follow. Because I believe that it will always take care of us. Eventually, it'll always lead us to the place we want, make us say things we want, encourage us to do things. All in the right time. That's why I also believe that people come in and go out of our lives for a very good reason. We either gain some new good friends or learn a lesson. Although it's hard to look at relationships like that, it's just how you survive. The survival plan. I think we should put our hearts on top here. Because who'll get hurt in the end if we take all those chances? We are getting hurt. And to prevent that from happening, is to just embrace anything that is happening to us. Be at peace, not in pieces. Learn to love things, even the bad ones that seem to have no use nor sense at all. For those are actually the ones that tell the most about us. Or rather, how we choose to react on them or how we deal with them is later what determines our lives. Maybe not in such dramatic way as I presented it, but something similar. We need to understand things don't come easy in life, let alone how we want them and at the right time. The key is to embrace it all with arms wide open and see what it happens. I think that kind of lifestyle suits all people since it's kinda the most happy way you can live, the most satisfying as well. We are taken on paths we do not wish to face. Challenges and obstacles in our way we are so afraid. But we must overcome them. There's no other way. You're always put on a test. Not from god or anyone up there. But from yourself. You're always challenging yourself and your boundaries, your limits. You never stop learning and taking it all in. That's the fun part about life. It never stops surprising you.
