Lakea

Eventually every human begins to wonder why time seems to be moving so quickly, especially as we age. Being a child felt like an entire lifetime itself, but ten years as an adult can flash by in a moment. There's plenty of theories out there. The most convincing to me being new experiences slow the personal perception of time. Again, being a child was mostly a whole new experience every single day as you learned customary lessons and developed your cerebral cortex. Then we grow older and find our routines. Monotony sets in. It's Monday and you're already wishing for Friday. Then it's Sunday and you're wondering what happened to Friday. Soon it's 2025 and last you checked it was 2022.

What if you step outside the universe and time really is speeding up, but the telemetry doesn't exist for us to measure it? The truth is it may forever remain one of the mysteries we can't solve within our reality. Maybe there's no mystery.

What we do know is certain - and what we do have control over - is our new experiences. So have new experiences, I tell myself. Force time to slow down. I've been a violator of this. A creature of habit. I know what I like, and I like to do what I like. But what I like can bring about this monotony, even if it is creative pursuits. The creativity within is boundless, but the environment around me is stagnant. My mind in a different world each day, but yet I sit in the same desk chair in front of the same screens that I did yesterday. It weighs on me mentally and physically.

Time has been on my mind a lot. Both what I have left of it and what happens to it once I'm long gone. It causes me indecision. "What's the best use of my time in this moment?" Guilt sets in as I allow myself free time, ignoring the escapism for consideration of what I could be doing productively instead. Ultimately, I've found myself in a state of analysis paralysis, wasting my precious time. A detrimental ouroboros, if you will.

So I learn to appreciate the minutiae. Examine everything as if it's a new experience. Engage my brain and my breath, but also let it wander... and wonder. Take in the texture. Think about something you've seen a hundred times before, but in a different way. Oblige a new perspective. Just enjoy, because that's within your control.

All I ask is that you stand still, time.

Stand Still Time

Make You Miss Me

We only go in one direction. That direction is the metaphorical forward, whatever that may mean. The point is: there is no going backwards in life, much as you may try.

“No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.” 
- Heraclitus

When we set off on our journey, whether we realize it or not, we're put on a particular trajectory. Every minor interaction has an imprint that guides the trajectory to our unwitting destination. You could have taken a brief moment to help someone with literal directions, or noticed something you hadn't seen before so you take out your phone to snap a picture. These actions have consequences, and they may spin out into a full butterfly effect that fundamentally alters your existence.

Now, because you paused to add yet another picture to your phone's photo album, it meant you missed your opportunity to walk across the street at the crosswalk. With a large red illuminated hand telling you to wait, you look to your right and see a flyer promoting a local concert you hadn't heard of. You check your calendar; you're free that night. Noted. Days later, you're at the show and catch the eye of an admirer that builds up the courage to move in your direction.

Now it's four years later and you're having a child with that admirer and starting a family. All because your spontaneous - and seemingly inconsequential - moment to stop and observe.

These moments are happening constantly, and if you become more aware of them, you may find yourself in analysis paralysis. Always contemplating what may be the sequence of events to occur from your current decisions - or indecisions. But it's important to not linger on what may or may not be.

Where you're going is the exciting uncertainty. What is certain, however, is there's no coming back.
