Time After Time

Time isn’t just a magazine it’s a thing you can’t hold in your hands. A watch or a clock is tangible, you can feel it, see it, pick it up to examine it, you can even change it but it’s just an illusion because time continues forward regardless of what you do.

Even though time is constant it passes differently depending on the person or event. A school day for a child, waiting for a loved one to come home from active duty overseas, being on the wrong side of the bathroom door or waiting for a phone call from a new love can seem like a lifetime.

And on the other hand, your wedding day, sixteen years of watching your child grow, summer vacation, and your own mortality fly by in a heartbeat.

I’ve read that there is a chemical in your body (dopamine) that affects time perception and as you get older less of this chemical is formed and time appears to go faster. Scientists are trying to work with this but I’m not sure you can play with the nature of time.

A friend of mine had her own theory. When you’re young you have so much time in front of you it just seems endless but as you grow older you begin to realize the time you have left may be less than what you have already lived and based on simple math time speeds up.

I guess that’s what makes it even more important to spend your time wisely, because all of a sudden it may be all used up and you’ll wonder where it all went.
