There are times in my life where I am frustrated and angered at wasted time. Past time that upon reflection in the present moment and aggregation of knowledge seems to me to be nothing but folly. I admonish myself for not making more of those moments and often wish I could go back and remedy this current nagging feeling. Unfortunately I am stuck on this one way river of time; moving unapologetically forward
It is in this unapologetic course of time that I find solace. That these ‘wasted’ moments are not really wasted but lessons to learn from in going forward. I cannot go back in time, which I think is beautiful. I have to accept, change, and grow. If I don’t, or if I do try to swim against the current of time, I will find myself stuck. And I will miss out on something truly great that is yet to come, because I will be convinced that I have already missed it.
