There is this wonderful quote from Mitch Albom's The Time Keeper.
"Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out."
This explains life perfectly. It's the reason why we are in a rush to get somewhere or do something. It is because we are afraid of running out of time. Except that it's these little fears that are all part of a bigger fear. The world is constantly reminded of the time, and in return we have all these deadlines we must meet and things to do within an allotted time.
Imagine a world without time.
Brain And Heart
Some say that the brain and heart go hand in hand while others say that they are conflicting organs in your body. As of late, the conflicting organs theory has proven itself to me. People change and we feel differently about people.
It's amazing to see how much my perspective of a person has changed. At the beginning of grade eight, I thought that I would never ever fall in "love" with this particular girl. A whole year zooms by and nine months later, I'm starting to rethink that statement.
If the brain and heart both are capable of loving, where the brain is the more logical love, and the heart is a just-do-it love, then I'd be correct in saying that I was listening to my brain at the beginning of the year and now I'm listening to my heart.
Along with others, I have also changed.
I long for the days when I had my old friends. I can no longer call any of them friends, except for a few that I still keep in touch with (but even they are slowly drifting away). I want days where I wasn't stuck in a hole of homework that I had created myself. Mostly, I want days where I can be a kid again, but there is no turning back in that realm of life.
There is this project that is due tomorrow. And all my science homework. And a short story. I have roughly 17 hours to finish all of this. I also need to sort out this mess that my brain and heart have created. I am a lowly 7 today.
