Time

Time. You can't escape it. You can't cheat it. You can't go back or forward. I want to do all these things almost daily. But I can't. It's impossible.
Time is constant. It doesn't change for anyone. Time doesn't care see gender, race, or age. It doesn't slow down in times of joy or speed up when we're faced with agony. It's the same for everyone, no matter how hard we wish it, we cannot will time.
Everyday seconds pass by me. Seconds that may not mean much at that moment, but if I'm not careful those meaningless seconds turn to minutes, hours, days, years, and before I know it a life time has passed me by.
Now the question is, what am I doing with my time? Am I constantly trying to find a way to slow or speed it up? Letting a lifetime of pass me by? Or am I filling it with a lifetime of memories? Memories that can be remembered, shared always.
You can't escape time. You can't cheat it. You can't go back or forward. You can't will it in your favor. One question remains, what are you doing with your time?
