Believe it or not, time is just a myth

Time is as fluid as can be. I feel like humans try to make sense of it so they compartmentalize it into minutes, days, and years… even seasons.

The new year is simply another day, another morning you wake up to. Many see it as a new beginning, alas many even wait for it to make any significant change in their lives(I hope you’re not part of them).

I’m wary of compartmentalization of time, because it's fluid as can be and really waits for no one. God graciously already compartmentalized it for us by making day and night time cause of human's limited understanding/mind. Imagine life went on and on with no seasons or demarcation to signify stability? Man will be hella confused, I tell you.

What is time really?

Time always seems to go on, it’s never-ending. It’s a myth to think that you can control it…

Life is simply made of time and the moments we create.

Time is a corrosive fluid, dissolving motivation, destroying novelty, and leaching the joy from life. Charles Stross

So because life is quite fleeting, you ought to live it as you really want, not how society dictates that you should.

As a woman, you have to marry at a certain age… as a man, you must have this at a certain age… All these are social constructs that belittle time and make it seem like the enemy.

So embrace the fluidity of time and live life in its moment.
