Carpe Diem

Knowingly, time waits for no man, yet very often, we set ourselves against the flow of time, as if we had control over how fast time would pass when we are at work, or how slow time would pass when we are enjoying ourselves.

Alas, reality is the complete opposite of what we have always wished for.

We are merely treading precariously on the thin line, time weaves along its eternal path, one step ahead, we lose our footing and fall into the abyss, one step behind, we retract into solitude and confine ourselves to our own world. The cruel grasp of time, can easily crush our fragile existence, I saw no point, in resisting a natural force at work.

Instead, we should seize the day; make full use of whatever opportunities that may come our way, for we do not know what the future brings. Living a life full of regrets, only makes us human, as we learn to move on from the regret of our decisions.

Carpe diem, I kept telling myself, as I saw dozens of opportunities slip me by.
