Passage of Time

The end of time is the beginning of time. Each second, minute, hour, day, and year ends only to begin again. The same events will not play out, but time is always passing.

What you do with your time is up to you.

Will you use it to improve yourself, love yourself, hone a skill, and enjoy life with people who make you feel alive, or will you let each hour waste away with the sound of familiar old shows?

There is nothing wrong with a quick visit to your past every now and again.

However, if you are stuck back there, you are not really here.

Because you have chosen to live in a place where nothing can be changed, everything you have to look forward to is nothing at all. Living in a place where nothing changes is a sure way to change nothing.

So please come back, please realize you are still alive, still of value, still able to grow and learn.

Please come back and be present, look forward because your life, your actual life depends on it.
