Time goes by
Location
At 5,
I was sprinting at their walking pace
wanting every moment to come as fast as it could
sprinting
At 10,
I was running, new experiences were happening
I had all the time in the world
the need for more new events
running
And as I looked back, I never walked,
never stopped,
never knew how time made me feel,
never valued how my mother giggle at simple things
or how my siblings were developing by themselves
never thought of how weekends with my grandparents meant so much
when back then, it was just another day
My little head never knew that forever can be taken away from you
Today I stopped for the first time
took a breath
and realized...
to walk with time
instead of run against it
not to waste it
but appreciate it
but mostly to live and love in every moment.
