I used to think about the passage of time quite a bit, until I realized that no matter what I did, it would always pass, and contemplating where it went and why I didn't have more of it only spent more of what I was seemingly running out of. If that makes sense.
people always tell me that i have all the time in the world because i'm young. i've never really felt like i did though. time is the one thing we can't get back so i've always been really aware of it. your words always strike something in me and this was no exception. anyone not reading this is missing out.
people always say that, but you don't stay young forever and if you live like you have all the time in the world, you miss out on cherishing the time. or something profound like that.
This was really brilliant. I'm 45 in just under a month and i'm more aware of time and its passing than ever. A lot has changed for us all and a lot will continue to change until time runs out and there's no way anyone can predict it. Good luck with everything.
45?! I thought you were still a young 41 like me! ha
Seriously, yes, time keeps going and worrying about it really is a waste of it. I can't help looking back on the time with Jen and wondering if she feels like it was a waste. I don't, but I still wonder. How are things going with you, by the way?
Oh ha, thanks. That's greatly appreciated, obviously. I'm almost officially old as a certain someone does like to keep reminding. Though i do like to think i become increasingly good looking with age.
I was involved in a relationship that last 13 years. I screwed things up one too many times and in the end it amounted to nothing. However, i certainly don't view as a waste of time and I know Liz doesn't either. I'm sure Jennifer feels the same.
I can't even begin to explain how closely I can relate to you on this, Brad. It takes a lot of time and thinking to understand what you did, and that it was the absolute right thing to do. It's hard to accept that you took another fork in the road. Time is one of the most valuable things we are given, and this is the moment you need it.
Thank you, Tom. I've noticed that often our lives aren't so different as they seem at first glance. I remember when you and Nic divorced and the similar reactions to what people are saying about Jen and I. It's always someone's fault. In both cases it looked like we just decided to move on. I know in mine and I'm sure in your's it was way more complicated than that. I feel like this is the right thing. And I might start shouting about it on Oprah once the divorce is final.
Time has been on my mind a lot lately, and I'm unsure as to whether it's because I'm getting older, or some reason I've yet to figure out. Time is precious, and we need to spend it in the best way we possibly can, because once it's gone, you can't get it back. I know we all wish we could.
Thank you. There are times where I'm more aware of time than I ever was since I've had the kids. That could be due to the fact that, yes, they're still little and young, but they're still growing up quicker than I ever dreamed they would, and it just makes me realize that my time with them is shorter than I imagined.

And I'll be looking forward to the movie.

You are not old at all, beautiful. Have you noticed that having kids makes you more aware or time or less?
Thanks, lets hope it's a good one.
