Time


Time, the one thing that no one can seem to get a hold of. The one thing in life that there never is enough of, it eludes us, entices us, bores us. Yet we are always at odds with it. How can something so insignificant dictate our lives? Others would beg to differ that time is very significant and plays a vital role in our day to day lives. Yet no one had mastered how to maintain it...

I sit here after my softball game looking at the dust that has accumulated on my desk and think..."If only I had time to clean it..." We are constantly telling ourselves if only we had the time, we would [Fill in appropriate comment here] When will we ever find the time to do what we want and need to get done. I am constantely saying I would do so much more if I had more time; is that a good thing...I don't know??

The more time that I want, the less I seem to have. How much time is enough? This question can be used in many contexts..."How much time do you need to get over a loved one?"; "How much time do you need to get that project done?"; "How much time do you need to go shopping?"..."How much time indeed?"

With our society becoming so fast paced and everything being so convenient; how is it that there isn't enough time? I buy fast food, I buy stuff online, shouldn't that constitute for something? Why can't I ever get enough time?

I am jealous of the people who tell me that they are bored and don't have anything to do; why can't I be like that? Why do I need so much more time than them? Am I being stingy with my time? Do I need to justify why it is that I need this extra time? I don't have kids, I don't have pets that live at my house...why do I need the extra time? I really don't know but I feel that I should get it...LOL
