Today I learned when your in it it feels like forever. I’ve been putting in hours trying to earn as much I can to pay off tuition fees. This has been my longest summer ever and I really feel that it’s because I’m working towards a singular goal. I thought about this concept watching a video of a 14 year kid talking about how his dad was harassing him and how he couldn’t wait to leave. He talked about how the four years until he turned 18 felt like forever. It seems like when your knee deep in some hardship the clock slows down. Especially at work. Everytime I’m at work it feels like ages before the half of the shift is completed. I’m not sure why it’s like this. But a lot of times when I’ve looked back at periods in my life what I thought was a long time sped by quickly with retrospect. High School went by faster than I thought it would. I remember the first day and the last day. Though I was two completely different people at each starting point before my eyes were really open it was off to the next chapter. My four years of irresponsibility between ages 18 to 22 went by way to fast. But in the middle of that period I would of told you I’ve been doing what I was doing for a long period of time. My sense of time has changed. What I use to think was a long period of time is pretty short. But when chopping away at something it feels like the end will never come. But that’s just not the way it really is. After I gather all the money I need to pay off school I’m gonna look back and say to myself that wasn’t a long period of time. I only think it’s taking forever because I’m checking my watch everyday. Im counting the days down one by one. I’m looking at things in the micro rather than in the macro. I just have to remember that it feels like it’s taking forever but the pace is going as fast as it should. It’s going as fast as it can. All I have to worry about is making the most of what I got. Sooner or later I’ll admit that the time went by faster than I thought it did.
