The Illusion of Time
Happy new year everyone!
Towards the end of 2021, almost everyone --including myself, kept saying the same thing: how fast time flew by. Honestly i really started to feel how fast time flies since i graduated college. But in the last 3 years it really felt like time flew by waaay way freakin fast. Now it's January and then the next moment it was already, what, November? Like, hello? Did someone press fast forward with 16x speed???
But then, I read something while scrolling my insta. It roughly goes like this:
Time is an illusion.
It is something that we can tighten, stretch, waste, or make use of, all depending on our needs. If we constantly feel time flies so fast yet in actuality we haven't really done that much, it means our concept of time is distorted. And we no longer have control of the time we have.
I felt slapped. I realized that all this time, it's not time that has flew that fast, but it was me who lost my control and waste soooo many time i had. Time is indeed one of the most precious thing that we have yet since it was given to us freely, just like air, i lost sight at how precious it actually is.
Maybe 2021 didn't fly that fast. Rather, i was the one who waste those days, hours, minutes that i had. I was the one who was unable to push myself to actually do things that i need or had to do with all the time that i had. It was my fault to just stay in my seat and do nothing. While i know full well that if i force myself to get up and do something, there's soooo many things that can be done. Things that i can discover with all the times i had.
I got comfortable. I got lazy and i took all the times i had for granted.
So, in 2022 i want to have better mindset of my time. To stop taking it for granted and stop complaining 'how fast time flies'.
This year, i pledged myself to make better use of time while i still have it.
Cheers for 2022! Hope this will be a good year for all of us.
Ameen.
