Time is running faster than I thought...

Why do I always have the same feeling a few weeks before school starts? "Summer is just too short!" At least where I live. Where did all the time go? Well, I should know better, 'cause I've read a book only about time! It was not at all fictional, only theoretical. It was for a course in school, of course. So roughly quoting to the book; we have always the same amount of time, we just don't always notice when the time is running faster than we thought. Especially when it's something we enjoy or love doing, or when we feel flow (which is uncommon).

 Sad things or depression makes us feel time is not running at all. When life feels impossible, it's hard to move on. It's hard to stop dwelling on the same hard things. And those who have experienced bad things, like losing someone important, have probably heard the famous phrase; "time heals all wounds" (In Swedish; "tiden läker alla sår"). I wasn't so glad to hear it back then. How would time heal me when I don't know how to stop feeling bad, how to rise up from the awful life I've made and move on? But now I actually know somewhat what the phrase means. At least what it means for me. It's partly true, isn't it? After some time you feel better and you are probably not as sad and angry as you were before. But only if you truly start living your life again and do not dwell on the same thing(s) again and again. Remember; you have only one life :)

In the previous paragraph I had kind of a weird, peaceful moment. I had to stop and think; what am I writing? This has to come from myself and from my heart. And it did :) Time is a weird and interesting "thing", or should I say phenomenon? My title tells how I'm related to time, usually. That's how it has felt for me the last weeks; it feels like time runs faster when I have much enjoyable things to do :) And this summer has been great! I've travelled, been with them I love, met my relatives and enjoyed life.

I listened to Hans Zimmer's song; "Time" from the film "Inception" (2010) when I wrote about time. The music made me so peaceful and glad somehow. I saw the film yesterday with my big brother. It's so mysterious and at the same time sad. Leonardo Di Caprio plays his role very good, this film is now one of my favourites. I recommend it to all who withstand action and like to philosophize about time and dreams.
