Author’s Note: Recently I’ve focused mainly on obstacles that may OR can limit you, time being one of them. Subconsciously I guess I felt these hinderances needed to be addressed and talked about or even seen from a different perspective. Well y’all, I’m done (for now). This series is over (for now) and I hope you enjoyed it more than I. I’m still figuring out the structure of how I’m doing this all. But then again, this is a literal brain dump and I doubt anyone’s raw first draft thoughts have much structure; also I do what I want with my creations. But for the sake of organization, I’ll work out the tweaks. Let me know if there are any themes you want to read about! Thank you guys for your love and support and Happy New Year!
The year 2020 is around the corner and right about now is when you start seeing the “2020 is the year I strive for…” And while I’m all for improvement and clarity it’s always boggled my mind why people wait for the new year to strive for a better them or a change in general when you have the power to make changes every day, any day. What is it about the New Year that makes it different than any other day? Because when you think about it, it is another day, just a new Year.
Time is a man-made construct mostly used for structure and indication of the passing of time. Since when was it cool to start using it as, to simply put it, an excuse? The next second, minute or even hour isn’t guaranteed. What are we waiting for? A formal handwritten invitation? You hear the cliche “live today like you may not see tomorrow,” but there’s a reason it’s a cliche. There’s truth to it. I have seen over and over again time used as an excuse to put off change.
At one point in my life, I wanted to be a pescatarian. Shout out Mr. Brockwell for making that joke about flexible morality. I think about that a lot. Anyways, I told a friend of mine that was something I wanted to do but I said I wouldn’t start it until the New Year. We had about 2 weeks left until then. My friend proceeded to ask me why I wanted to wait and honestly I had no sensible answer. Just because it felt right? Became that’s what seemed normal, media had been feeding me that for years. That’s another conversation for another time though, no pun intended.
Ladies and gents, what I’m getting at here is time should not be used as a limitation, it should be used as an encourager. Take advantage of the time we have right now in this moment. Reality check, you actually get to do with it what you please! Use it wisely.
Love more, do more, see more, whatever, TODAY, because we’re on borrowed time.
