These days, Time is constantly on my mind. No don’t get me wrong, I’m not afraid to ‘age’ nor do I need extra time. By ‘Time’, I mean a period, a space, memories… I think it’s ‘aging’ that makes me treasure time spent together with people – indeed it’s the not quantity that matters any more, it’s the quality!
For those who has not been spending quality time with those around, go on, grab a date and do so! It’s never too late, okay?
I’d end with quotes about ‘time’, which I think speaks about my current situation.
