Wasting Time Like Someone’s Making More
I closed my eyes to live a little, and when I opened them, six years had passed. I’m not exactly sure where the time went or how it flew past me so quickly. Time slipped through my hands like grains of sand and by the time I was aware of myself, the time was lost. I wasted years of my life doing nothing.I dropped out of college because I was so distracted by a man, got myself stuck in a dead-end job, and lost myself in a toxic relationship. All of that precious time is lost. I wasted it and there’s no way to get it back.Time wasted, I have found, is like a train that passes by. If you don’t jump on board, it leaves without you. It’s like a bird flying away, soaring high in the sky, and you can’t catch it no matter how hard you try.
Time is a valuable resource, but I treated it as if there was an endless supply. I put things off, procrastinated, and delayed important tasks, thinking time would always be there waiting for me.One of the main reasons we waste time is because we believe we have an unlimited amount of it. We fall into the trap of thinking there will always be a tomorrow, next week, or next year to do what needs to be done.I knew the relationship was dead, but I stayed thinking that was the last time. Every time I had the chance to leave, I would say next time. It was the same with the job. I dreaded going in every day and I was unfulfilled, but I went in anyway. For six years, I kept going.
