Time is inevitable. Time is always going to be there for everyone at the past, present, and the future. Time is our fundamental resource we refer to very constantly. Some people enjoy living in the moment while others think for what's ahead of time. How is our time wasted, used, and why are we to be careful?


Time is always to never be returned to anyone or anything. Every second I write this, every second you read this, you’ll never get that little piece of time that could’ve been better off doing something else. 


Time is very fragile, but so are people. Any little misstep or mistaken made is something that cannot be fixed, it is forever in the past, and we either accept our mistakes or stay stuck in the past, thinking about how it could've been different. Once any step is taken from anyone or anything, a path is open and anything can be changed, what's done is done.


Time is precious to each and everyone of us. To those who live in the moment to those who are always constantly thinking ahead for the next week. Mankind is the only species who truly utilizes time. No animal goes out of its way to check its watch or freak out when a birthday is missed. This in itself exposes one fear we have that no other creature has to endure, the fear of time running out. 


The arrow of time is forever moving forward until the end. There is no going back, always move forward and right your wrongs in the most possible, human way. Make your rights even more right but keeping ahead of time and progressing until inevitable death. Time is to come and slaughter each and every one of us at the end, we don’t think about much until a related topic comes up. 


Time is always something we take for granted. We sit in our rooms, living rooms, wherever, doing nothing but mindlessly scrolling through social media, watch something on TV, or just play games.


Time is running out, don’t think too much, live in the moment, ask for that girl or guy's number, take your family and friends out and do something new, you’re going to die eventually and it could happen today, tomorrow, seven years from now, twelve years from now, take your chances now before you're on your deathbed as an empty husk with nothing but regret.


Do what you want, do what you can, write what you want to write, and live your life in any way you want.

I'm intrigued by the concept of time and how we spend and use it.
