Really wants…
Life is all about things that you want to do. I really want to do this today or one day I really want to do that. I have a ton of things that I really want to do as well.
I want to write a story. Not a bunch of them, but at least one really good story.
I also want to do something that will impact many peoples lives.
I feel that one of these goals is really close, but the other seems so far away.
There was this kid that I was talking to the other day. I told him about the blessing of youth, time. When you are younger, you have time to recover. You can make a bad mistake and if you work hard, you can recover. You can fuck up a part of your life, but you can still recover. But as with most blessings, a curse usually follows.
Time is fools gold.
When you are younger, you have all the time in the world. Everything is in front of you and seems so far away. It takes so long for everything to happen. Life moves so slow. But in a flash, you start catching up to time and then you realize that now it is all behind you.
I told him that he has time to make mistakes, but he has to make sure that those mistakes don’t live on to hurt him. I told him that he can recover from making bad choices in life, but it will be harder than if he didn’t make those mistakes in the first place. I explained that while he might think that he has time, he really doesn’t. In one second, life can change, for better or for worse.
It is the same as you get older. Time seems to move so fast. There are things that I really want to do, but it always seems that time won’t allow it. But then when I stop and think about it, time was never the issue, it is my perception of it.
