Does anybody really know what time it is?

I guess the band Chicago had it right when they penned that song, they asked the perfect question. Our entire universe is subject to a bit of a constant clock, I mean it goes tick-tock all the time. I don’t think that the clock will be ticking it’s your life Sweetie’. To answer that question I would say it’s time to do something that you have always wanted to do. Don’t wait, the time is never right maybe that’s why I am writing this article with absolutely no clue or experience in writing but a girl has to vent. I refuse to leave the universe without a trace.

Clocks and calendars do not know the time either. Time is always existential. It’s a strange thing to think that we control time by simply moving a clock up or back an hour, they call it “daylight saving”. I wish we could do the same with our time, maybe freeze it for an hour so that we can say goodbye to our loved ones so that we can manage to catch that train or bus or maybe to avoid that accident or maybe to rewrite and finish that exam that we failed. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work like that, we can’t regain time lost.

In my line of work time of Birth and Time of Death is really important to record, it is used for different important purposes. In birth, it determines the Apgar score which is repeated five minutes later but we are not going to talk about my work it feels like another shift. My point here is Time doesn’t care about anything. It doesn’t care if you are a newborn, teenager or hundred years. Time is like a bomb that can explode at any moment and that moment is death. It won’t stop even after you die, Please if you still have the chance to live your life better start living in the moment now.

Yes, we can’t regain lost time; we can’t be children again, college kids again nor are we able to see our loved ones that have departed from us. The best phase of your life is now if you want it to be, don’t mull over the past life and forget the regrets. Make use of what is left, the relationships that you have now and do everything that you have always wanted to do. I did it. I wrote this article. I have been dragging to put my first article. I was actually scared. I think I finally know the answer to that Song.

It’s time to say Yes to the things that bring you joy and No to the things that don’t.
