TIME. WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN?- Lanai Jarrico

As a child, time has no real meaning. There are no deadlines or worries. You are supposed to be a kid. Explore and learn is what you are meant to do. As a teenager, time still has little value as days are spent without the boundaries of your immediate space and living for the moment without thinking of consequences. In early adulthood, you begin to realize that time has value and start thinking about your past experiences that have shaped you to this point. In your mid-20s, you think you may have life figured out, but you still have much to learn. 30’s you see yourself thinking about the future. Maybe by this time you are a parent, married… watching your parents get older and reminiscing about easier days when life didn’t have as much responsibility. 40’s you begin to look back at your youth and realize you’ve made choices that put you on a harsher path than if you had taken a different route. If by this age, you are content and happy, that is a good thing, but it doesn’t mean you have dodged curveballs that could throw your life into a spiral and leave you to rebuild, choose a different path, or remain stagnant and stuck in a life you really didn’t see yourself in.

Time. It is the only thing in this world you cannot get back, nor can you buy it back with any amount of money. Foolish people seek the mythical fountain of youth by way of vanity, but forget that inside you are moving closer to death. That is the only certainty in life. It may seem morbid or dark to spill the words on a page as time passes by, but it’s truth at it’s finest. We may want to wait for the right time for tough discussions, changes, doing better for ourselves, but it all comes right back to the same thing…. Time.

How much of it do we really have? Have we made peace with ourselves yet? Apologized to those we have wronged. Made amends with our past. Is are heart in the right place? Lots to consider as the clock continues the pass like sand slowly pouring in an hourglass.

Tick tock… tick tock… shall we watch and wait until the last grain of sand drops?

Now is the time to reassess our lives. Don't wait until the last minute to find that new job, set goals for yourself, or even open your heart and let love in once again.

We all carry our emotions differently, but we are all on the same path of the unknown. Let's not wait until it is too late to live. Find true love or just be happy deep within our souls.

That is the true meaning of life. Our journey is a test with no grade. Who is the judge of our greatest self? Is it our religion? Lack of belief? The opinions of others or the silence of those who watch from a distance to see if we fail. It’s funny how many are quick to judge, look down upon others, and pick and choose who to help.. Or even hurt.

Each one of us has a story to tell that spans back to the beginning of time. Through our family histories, as far back as the stories have been passed down through generations. Do we really know the whole story or just the bits and pieces that favored the storyteller? We shall never know.

Tick tock… tick tock, the clock keeps ticking until it stops, and we return to the beginning, where it all began. Time.
