"Carpe Diem!" That's my life motto. Or should I say that was what I used to live by?
I just saw one chance and I let it pass. I saw an opening and I didn't take advantage of it. I saw a break, and I walked the other way.
Sometimes, I get the feeling that time fly by so fast, that the events of my life could no longer catch up. Nothing seems to be happening to my life these past years and I'm getting older with nothing to show for it. No, it's not the birthday blues, and no, it's not just 'the old maid' thing, it's all of it. It's everything.
I used to be happy living side by side with Time. We get along well. I traveled the country, I bought my own car and I got up and around the corporate world. There's seems to be an endless array of opportunity for me to grab and seize. I didn't know that I've been taking for granted some aspects of my life, that I'm letting some opportunities I did not deem important then, pass by without thought. I'm already missing one half of my life.
Yeah, I know. It's just something you say when you're trying to convince your frightened friend to ride the Space Shuttle. It's something you say when your dieting, overweight friend doesn't want to taste your mom's triple chocolate cake. It's something you say to your virginal, almost 28 year old friend when talking about mind-boggling sex. "You're missing one half of your life."
Hmmm, I am rambling. I don't even understand what I'm saying. I'm not making any sense here and I'll leave it at that. I have to catch up with Time. He's running along very fast and I'm sitting here, writing confusing thoughts of introspection.
I'd better get moving or He'll definitely run along without waiting for me.
*Now why and when did Time suddenly turn into a man?!?
