I hope your life flies by

because you’re enjoying it so much you don’t notice time passing.

Life moves much slower when you’re a kid,

always waiting for the next school holidays,

or when you get to see your cousins again.

Then all of a sudden your time is in your hands and it starts slipping through your fingers.

There’s no one telling you to “go and have fun” anymore, or to spend more time with your friends or relatives,

There’s no one telling you to tidy your room, or cooking your favourite meal when your day doesn’t go as planned.

Planning goes out the window when you grow up

because the unpredictability of life is a thing… and it happens.

They say time flies when you’re having fun, but the truth is it runs away from you no matter what you’re doing so,

catch it if you can

and hold on to it for a while,

count every single second and force it to slow down.

Although,

it will inevitably escape you

So, I hope your life flies by

because you’re far too busy enjoying it to notice time passing.
