Time… What is it? What does it mean? Is there something you want to do? Someone you want to reconnect with? Is there someone you want or need to make amends with, but are too scared for the sake of your pride? The meaning of time is different for everyone.

You see, the problem with time is that there isn't enough time to do a lot of what you really want to do. We all believe that we have all the time in the world to do what we want and when we want. However, time isn't our friend and doesn't seem to be on our side.

We continue to go through life thinking and believing that time is working along our side, but it takes a while for us to realize the harsh truth about time. People always want to travel, chase a crazy dream, talk to an old friend, reconnect with family members, or just hang out with either their friends or family.

However, most people feel like they will get to it if they have time after work. Most people don't get to do a lot with their kids (if they have any) because they work so many hours during the day and by the time they get home they are too exhausted to do anything except sleep. They don't get to build any kind of relationship or connection with them because of the time they lose due to work.

Most people are scared, scared of what they want to do. They are terrified of what the outcome might be. They're scared to go after an opportunity that might be in their path, scared to tell that one person how they feel, want to make a new friend or to walk away from a relationship/friendship that might not be good for them. No one takes chances anymore, and honestly, I am the same way.

For me, I've always been the type who is scared of change or to take a chance at something. I was scared to tell the guy I like how I felt, but I knew at the time that if I didn't tell him I might lose him (a story for another time) I did take a chance despite what the outcome could have been, I told him and we couldn't be happier. I took a chance about 4-ish years ago to get out of my comfort zone and try something new and because of that, I have found a second home in line dancing.

I have made friends and I have lost friends and honestly, I couldn't be happier. There is still a lot that I would love to do and people I would love to reconnect with, but timing isn't right. Again time is an ugly thing and like I said isn't on our side. I am a firm believer on the saying "timing is everything."

There is a time to be with that special someone, to make a friend, try something new, reconnect with family, reconnect with an old friend, or simply be by yourself. There is always a right moment to do something but we have to have the courage to be ready and willing to go along with it. We need to have the courage to go after that girl/guy, to reconnect with someone, or even trying something new.

Time isn't our friend, but we can make it our friend. We can make the most of what we have and by doing so we can spend time with family. Hang out with siblings when you can, spend time with friends, go to a concert, go out, go after that dream of yours no matter how crazy it might seem. Reconnect with a family member, rekindle whatever might've happened in the past to make you not talk anymore, reconnect that old friend and see what happens. Time is short we have to make the most of what we have.

What will you do? How will you spend your time? Who will you be spending your time with? How will you feel looking back years from now? Will you be happy? Will you have any regrets?
