Do you ever feel that time is passing you by?
January 30th 2008 09:25
The weeks seem to rush by just so quickly. I guess this is a short week because of the Australia Day weekend, which Jim and I enjoyed very much. We don't see each other much during the week as I have Ballet class two nights and Jim goes running and works out at the Gym.
I wonder how that will change as our relationship deepens. It seems nowadays that many people run their lives as singles rather than as a couple.
I know we do for at least 4 days out of 7.
The time passes so quickly I often wonder how people have the time to get married and how much their life changes after that.
I'm intending to give up my job when I start a family but until then I shall continue to work. I like my job and my role gives me quite a degree of autonomy. Jim seems to like his, well at least he never complains, I guess a lot of men just regard work as their function in life and would feel undervalued without it. That's how it strikes me anyway.
But I still have the sense that life moves forward very quickly now and I was wondering just how many others out there feel the same. I think those who work and have families to look after as well must find themselves particularly rushed. I heard one female describe it like being on automatic pilot.
But how many of you, like I do, feel sometimes that life is passing you by and that there is very little you can do about it. I guess that makes blogging a big waste of time.
What's your view?

Time has become my worst enemy since having a child. There is simply not enought of it! And the little bit that there is, goes FAR too quickly. I wish that I had the power to make time stand still, just now and then, just to relish the moment!

And it's not just having enough time in the day - there are so many things I want to do in life but I can't do them all at once, and don't know what I want to do first, or if I even CAN have it all...

I do feel time is passing us by. I still have so much to see and do and I just want to do it all at once just in case I wake up tomorrow and I am 70!

Louie, I think you are just so right in keeping sight of your dreams and a little and often is the way to go, although you may speed up after a while, time does pass by so quickly as you say.
Michaelie, I’m afraid none of us can have it all although we may think we can, there’ll always be something in the way, you sound like such a bubbly gregarious person, so full of life, but it may just pay to stop and take stock and prioritize: that way you’re sure to get some of it.
Amy, one day hopefully, you’ll wake up and you’ll be seventy and still rarin’ to go. Being 1 of 2 rather than 1 of 1 does bring considerable change, just relish the years when you did do just what you wanted, and now relish the sharing and caring and future, I’m sure you’ll gain more than you lose.
Stephen, I sense a lot of hurt and pain there, but you’ve made a positive move and let’s hope your future is all the more rewarding from now on. It’s lovely when males get to comment.
Lovely to see you all, Crystal.
