[WE101] Weekend-Engagement concept-Time: Can you just slow down!

source
I was at a Supermarket last Saturday morning, that’s a week ago, to get some provisions. As I finished buying what I wanted, I went straight to the counter to pay for them. The cashier was scanning, I quickly picked one of the items I bought to check it manufactured and expiration dates, just wanted to be sure before I pay for it. As I scanned through the pack of the item in search for the dates, then I found it. Although, it took me a while before I could see it because it was hidden. I was shocked to my bones when I saw the dates. It was as though at that moment everything in my life got paused.

The production date of the item was MAY that means it was produced recently but for what I saw I thought the date was forged, I never realized then we have moved so quickly into The Month of May, it was just so fast. Then I dropped it for the cashier to scan and I said to her as I pay "we are in May? She smiled and replied;

Yes we are in a new month of May, isn’t the year running so fast? and the time isn’t waiting for nobody.

I was a little relaxed with her confirmation that it wasn’t just my time moving so fast but I was so worried about my entire life and wished the time could just stop for that moment. I have lots of things to do in my life!

On my way home, I was left with so many thoughts about my life, thoughts of my plans and my resolution I wrote down for the year and non of those things I can boldly say is alive yet, I haven’t accomplished any of the plans. Last year 2021, I have pictured how I want my life to be in my head for the year 2022 and non of those things is in existence. I was so bitter and almost crying. I couldn’t think any further than to embrace myself and to think of proper ways to restructure my plan on how I can be at the same pace with the time. I do not need anyone to tell me how relaxed and so comfortable I have been since the beginning of the year, that for sure I was aware of, like everything is going well. But that day made me realize that I have nothing yet.

The time is moving so fast and it’s not stopping. The day it’s stops is the day a man dies. Instead of crying over past wasted times, I feel it is important to move on and make proper use of the time we still got because no one knows when it will stop.
