Remember the good 'ol days when we always said, I can't wait to grow up? Seems like just yesterday there was not a care in the world besides when we would get to play with our best friends again or what toys we were getting for Christmas. If only we had known what growing up was really like, we might not have been so eager to be a big girl/boy.
At least for me, the time to grow up and live on my own always seemed so far off in the distance. However, once it started getting closer, the reality of having to move on hit me when I finally realized I was not as ready to grow up as I always thought. Regardless, continuing on through change and challenges is inevitable and part of human nature. As I have made the adjustment to move away from my family, my small hometown, and the friends who carried me through everything, I have realized one important thing. Time is unstoppable.
"Time is free, but it is priceless. You can not own it, but you can use it. You can not keep it, but you can spend it. & once you have lost it you can never get it back."
The most important thing is how you spend your time, and fill as much time as possible with memories that are unforgettable. Everyone always wants to know how to make time slow down or how to stop aging. & I have found that the secret to these questions is to simply live in every moment. Age is only a number, and one only becomes old when they stop acting like they are young. Seeing as we are nearing the time to make new year's resolutions, this is mine: to stop worrying so much about the past, and to stop pondering for so long over the future. Because time flies way too fast to not stop and simply enjoy today.
