  [tahym] noun, adjective, verb,timed, tim·ing.

noun Time is the indefinite continued progress of existence and events that occur from the past through the present to the future

I'm done my first year of university, I guess. I packed up all my stuff from my lifeless residence room and it looks like it did when I first moved in 8 months ago. So much has happened this year yet nothing at all. Looking back on my life, I just want to know where the F**K the time went. 

"Time does not change us. It just unfolds us."

Time enthralls me. It's is the one thing that will always be out of our hands. It's our best friend and our worst enemy. Time heals all wounds. It's wiped away my tears, comforted my soul and helped me put together the fragments of my heart. Time tells all. It puts pieces of a puzzle together and uncovers the truth. Time unfolds us. It's helped me discover who I am and who I will become. Yet time will eventually take my friends and family away from me. Time will blur all my memories and casually erase my life. And perhaps worst of all, time has caused my old friends to become strangers.

Sometimes I just want to grab time by its figurative shoulders and SCREAM. Can I hold his hand without you mockingly ticking away? Can't you just freeze for a second and let me linger beside my friends? Can't I spend time with my family without your inevitable noose? But, of course, the answer is no. And if it was yes these memories wouldn't be the fleeting moments I treasure late at night, right before I'm washed away by sleep.
