This is so beautifully written, I always wished I could rewrite old conversations maybe then I would stop living with the silent ache of what could have been. This genuinely struck a cord in my brain thank you for sharing this. Genuinely ❤️

I like that a lot. It’s strange to think that physicists have demonstrated to a degree that this slowing down and speeding up of time is a physical reality. It’s also something that changes a lot as you get older. Not gonna get into the cliches but it is definitely better if you are able to squeeze every second out of it and make it count. Of course it then goes faster, paradoxically… at least according to Einstein and these philosophers of the universe; infinity, incomprehensible. All that. Doesn’t mean today was fun necessarily. But it should be a goal (for me), to make time meaningful without taking myself too seriously!

this is so beautifully written. it actually made me think of Camus and the absurd. Considering humans will always strive to find meaning in their existence as well as anything else they do, whereas there might never be any meaning to it at all. We have to keep pushing through time and living on, instead of dwelling in our past decisions.

I love this so much. I chronically look back in time and wonder what life would look like if I made different decisions. I hate that about me! But love this so much. Thank you for sharing with the world 🤍

I have tears in my eyes! :'-) That's so beautiful! I'm a recovering alcoholic, and this line hit me the hardest. For a time, I didn't have custody of my children because of my drinking, and when I started thinking about the time lost with them, inevitably, I'd fall back on alcohol. Obviously, that was not moving forward. LOL

Thank you so much for sharing your writing! It's so vivid and relatable!
