To Slow Down Time (Just in a silly writing mood :)

Every time I gaze on the clock that hung by the wall of my room, I start to ponder to myself. “Why can’t the hands tick slower?” Every second that had passed was like a missed opportunity for me to reach my goal. Sometimes, it wasn’t really consistent. When I wanted the time to fly fast, the hands will tick slow, but when I wanted it to slow down, it struck an hour in the blink of an eye. I wonder why time does that. 

  I wished that sometimes, time would want to wait, or even stop ticking. Every time I chase my goal, I will always think that my time was running out. I may not have enough time to fix everything, or maybe even have enough time to find my purpose of life. It takes time, but why can’t time itself do that? Can’t it wait? 

  Let’s just imagine that the time slowed down for the day, making a second seemed like incredibly five seconds had passed. Maybe I could finally finish my work on time and getting ready before the hour I was supposed to be finished had struck. It may be a good thing, but the longer I looked into it, the worse the day has gotten. The longer every second ticked, the more likely it was for me to focus on one thing. I would have entirely forgotten that I had to push my goal, which was my aim. Time would fly as fast as it is today, and I wouldn’t even notice that. 

  But, what if it passed by faster, making a second feel like only half a second had passed? What will I do? What will I only do? I wouldn’t be able to notice or do anything before the day was over, and tomorrow would come to me earlier. I wouldn’t even find my purpose on time, making me more focused on one thing. Then again, time will seem passing by as normal as it is. 

With all this being said, what should I do? There is no point slowing down or speeding up the time. It will only make things worse. How am I supposed to discover everything on time, when time will never take a break? Just like us, we never take a break. Only when the sun sets is the only exception. Yet the time will fly faster only then. An hour will feel like only half an hour had passed when you sleep, and you’ll wake up tomorrow just to notice that the time continues to move. The only thing I can do is to focus on today. I won’t think of tomorrow, and I won’t even think of yesterday. For yesterday was already a history, and tomorrow is a mystery that awaits us. And us being alive today is a gift, and that was why it’s called the present. Focus on today, and surely, we will achieve our dreams before we know it.
