The Vintage Beach

Mid August already. Time passes by so fast. I read an article online recently, according to which, time flies as you get older. The author, tried to explain this phenomenon by researching it online and came up with lots of explanations. Some religious ones, others about parenting and others philosophical. The most reasonable explanation to him had to do with “anticipation” and “retrospection”.
“Whatever the nature of our individual lives, we all anticipate things important to us. Then after they happen, we look back at them. For example, most school children look forward to the long summer vacation, which always seems to be an eternity away. Finally, it arrives. Then, almost before they blink an eye, it’s over and they are back in school again.”
Who can’t relate to that? We’ve all been looking forward to summer holidays and we’re already half way there. It is going to end before we know it and make us all wonder, when? how? why? I know, I know, and I’m sorry for bringing you down and ruining your holiday mood, but you know it’s true. At least, now, you know what you have to do. Go out and live your day. Make the best out of it and make every minute of it count. That would definitely help time accelerate even more but at least you’ll have so much fun.

Am I following my own advice? Nope! But isn’t that usually the case?

Have a good day!
