It’s already 12/28/23, does anyone else feel that time is just flying?

I can’t help but have a ticking clock in my head like if time is just going by so fast. It all started when my grandpa passed away 2 years ago. My brother was closer to him and his death really affected him more than it did me.

I never really learned how to cope with death growing up and I’m usually the type to react about things super delayed. I think it took me like 3 months to come to the realization that he was in fact gone and how he would never be coming back.

That’s when the reality of death and the idea of our time running out really came out and slapped me in the face.

WAKE UP CALL

All this time passing so fast has really made me feel like we only live once and once our time is up then that’s it. In the past I used to think and do a lot of the “I’ll do that tomorrow”, “I’ll learn that some day” or “I’ll accomplish this at some point”. But lately, my mindset has really changed because tomorrow is NOT promised. You and your loved ones can be standing here one day and gone from this world the next day.

TODAY IS A GIFT

I really like the saying “Today is a gift, that’s why its called the Present”, because it in fact is the greatest gift. You can’t do anything about the past and you can only plan the future so much. Like we have all experienced plans rarely work out the way we planned.

Lastly, if you read this far I want you to remember that tomorrow is not certain.

Don’t hold back on telling someone how much you care about them, don’t hold back on telling someone the truth, don’t hold back on trying somehting new and don’t ever be afraid of change

Take advantage of the present before it becomes the past!
