Time

Is it just me or are things just racing past? It seems like just 2 days ago I finished my board exams, but it’s more than a month. I can’t believe 6 months have already lapsed since the start of 2022. The last 2 years, after I graduated from 8th grade, flew by in a blink of an eye.

The things I planned for the summer, thinking it’s a lifetime away, are now popping up in my calendar. Time is moving way too fast. I’m starting 11th grade this year! Covid played a large role in this – staying at home, online classes, restrictions, lockdowns. It’s one day after another, one activity after another. There are times when I love this fast pace – I find it exciting, exhilarating, thrilling. However, at times I feel like I’m holding on to the back of an airplane with all my strength, but the plane is flying too fast for me to hop on and sit comfortably. Some points life seems like a dream even when I’m awake – It’s as if i’m not living every moment. Time is ticking, but at times I can’t keep up with it.
