There Is Never Enough Time

It's difficult to get past your emotions and logically make the decision to make more time.

There Is Never Enough Time
Lorir Taylor

Certain moments in life have the power to take anyone by surprise. Usually those moments happen when least expected, and when there’s barely any time to devote to that moment. It can come in the form of family, work, school, personal friendships/relationships, etc. Practically anything and anyone has a chance to be this type of moment in life, and it’s difficult to determine what to do at that moment.

Maybe a family member has passed suddenly, a relationship with a significant other didn’t work out the way it was supposed to, or it could be as simple as school finals rearing their ugly head, all these types of events can lead to a moment of surprise. After that moment takes place the most difficult action comes next.

What to do next?

The emotions that take over a person’s mind, after experiencing their moment of surprise, can lead to an indecisive train of thought. It’s hard to make decisions when emotions are running high. That’s what these types of moments can do to a person. They change everything about life, and they also leave a reminder to the world. That reminder is that there never seems to be enough time.

Now that the moment has passed, emotions are dialed down, and logic has come back into the equation a lot of time has passed. That’s means that once again people reminded that there never seems to be enough time. It’s difficult to cope with such a reminder; however, I have a solution. The solution is that for someone to feel that there’s not enough time, they must put in the effort to make the time. The truth is that life will always be on the go, and even when life altering moments take some surprise, it doesn’t stop the cycle of life from moving forward.

The hard truth is that eventually everyone must move forward, and to do that, everyone must make the time to move forward. There truly is never enough time in the day. But we can’t dwell on that realization, if we do then we waste the time we have left. Once again the hard truth is simple. Put in effort to make time.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
