Do you feel your life is passing you by?

The saying goes 'time waits for nobody'. If we turn back and see what had happened all the years that passed by, it would appear like a big novel. We would have met so many characters, made tough decisions, wrong ones too and some good moves too.

I had made a lot of plans for the future, but i am unable to do what i wanted due to my health.I wanted to work with the elderly and bring home a good wage by putting a lot of hours in, so that we would be able to pay the mortgage off earlier, so that we had a lot more money now rather than having to wait.I do feel like life is passing me by, but that is the way my life is now, so i have to come to terms with it.

That is so true. I've always thought that time seems to drag when you're younger because you can hardly wait for some event or another to happen. You can't wait until school starts. You can't wait until school lets out. You can't wait until you get into high school. You can't wait to get your driver's license. You can't wait to graduate from high school. You can't wait to go to college and then you can't wait to graduate. You can't wait until you turn 21. Once those milestones occur there aren't that many more milestones that you can't wait to happen. A number of years ago, I assumed that I would live until I was 80 and calculated the number of days that I had left to live. Watching those days dwindle really keeps me present in the moment and focused on the things that I want to accomplish in my life. If I live past 80? BONUS!!!

I can see that in a way. Life tends to go rather quickly a lot of the time. It really does seem just like yesterday I was enjoying my childhood. Then when I was a teenager, then starting college, but now I'm about to finish and the finishing part is really going to seem just like yesterday before I know it. There are a lot of times where life really does spiral forward, into some level of insanity. I feel like that I was once with it, but now I feel like the world has changed in such a short time. I don't really feel as if that I am in tune with the youth of today and I'm not that old. It does seem like time is not on our side and even the most careful time management, we can really find ourselves thrown off balance. Life is really speeding up, time goes faster as we get older. It waits for no one.

I can see that time passes quickly and at my early stage of adulthood, there are so many things that i want to achieve but its not possible at this time. As for the moment i just enjoy what i have right now and plan for the things in the future.

yeah,the life is short and time is swift. So we should try to make everyday meaningful. When we come across difficulties, try to solve it and just tell yourself that everything will be OK because everything will fade from your memory as time goes by.

I really wish I have followed the advise of my elders when I was younger. It could have saved me a lot of trouble, so much that I have been through. It would be easy to tell the young people of today of the right things to think and do but making them actually believe it and follow it is something else. I guess most of us go through this phase, where we all are carefree and just living the day. This just makes me wish that I could go back to my past and tell my young self to do the right things and make the right choices.

i have learned this from my mom and grandma so even in my young age i always try to make sure i play safely especially in my priorities i life.

Yes, I definitely agree with you. In one way, it is really a shame that people don't realize that when they are still young (I certainly did not realize that), but I guess that's the irony of life. This is why we should really try to make time for fun things as well and enjoy every moment we get.

You said it, Dominque. I feel the same way . Most of people didn't cherish what they own until they lose it . And time may be the most precious because you can never have it back once losing i t. I have seen a lot of people lament for their flirting with life . They are the best lessons for us. We can't never following their suit .
