so im too stoked for our EFT(educational field trip) and can't sleep, so i might as well do a entry.

life is going by too fast, as is always the case it seems. midterms are over and the EFT is here. i think about time often. why does it "go too fast"? what would make time slow down? doing less, journaling more, taking pictures,  less obligations? i feel like if there ever were a formula it would have been figured out by now. time is time. there is no fast forward or slowing down. we need to accept it for what it is and not complain how the "time flies" through and away from our mortal grasps. every second we waste talking about time, is one second of time that we could have been living.

we were put on this earth with a set amount of seconds to live. whether i have 10 seconds or 10 billion seconds to live, i dont know, but the only thing i can do is make the most of the second that im living in right....now. making the most of each second doesn't mean that every second needs to be filled with activity. some of the most cherish seconds in my life have been spent doing absolutely nothing but simply...being.  it feels like our world is running on a rat wheel, getting the most activity and productivity out of every second, only to feel less productive and active at the end of every passing day.

its time to slow down. its time to realize your clock is ticking down, and that thats ok. time doesn't change pace, it doesn't really operate on our schedule, we've just been able to but a numerical gauge on it  based on the position of planets, but that doesn't mean we have harnessed it. stop fighting the clock, it will always win, time will always win.

stop doing, stop becoming, and simply start being.
