Time is tough to comprehend. I’m genuinely fascinated by the endless perceptions of it as a concept. Fortunately for me, I can spend 5 hours in traffic for what would typically be a three-hour trip and genuinely not notice. My days fly by, and I’m constantly trying to figure out how to extend them without exhausting myself. There’s far too much going on in my head, and because of this, time passes timelessly. Hours become days, which become weeks and ultimately years. All blurring. Yes, I know approximately 25 and 21 years ago, I birthed children — and while they’ll always be my babies, they aren’t babies anymore. Time passed. I know I used to give my Mother and Father hugs — and while I can’t do that physically anymore, I still talk to them, as their memories are alive and well in my head. So, time passes. We age. People come. People go. ✨ Every minute of our journey can feel like a split second or an eternity, depending on our perspective. There are days when I wish I could stop time, but I’ve come to realize the beauty of living in the present. I choose to live each day fully, knowing that when my time comes, I’ll be ready, whenever that day arrives. Why will I be ready? Because in my own imperfect ways, I keep striving to savor every moment with the people who made each moment uniquely and truly special. ✨
