Entirely Up To You

Life slips away like a passing thought; it's enjoyed, and then the moment's lost. And yet each second is precious when Man's mortality must bear the cost. Time favors the impetuous young by slowing down to extend their play. To them, a week's an eternity, and a moment can feel like a day. But as the years drop like falling leaves, time significantly picks up speed. And though you may wish that it would slow, time can but continue to proceed. We peg time as either friend or foe, although neither assertion is true. It is how you perceive it; that counts, and that is entirely up to you.

So true "For it's how you perceive it that counts its span is entirely up to you." So very hard to manage time.

This is soo good Emile, and so true, I think as the years go by time seems to accelerate, but it's really just proportional to our life's experiences.
