be you and nothing more nothing less


All we have is time in this thing we call life
how do we use it?
where does it go?
how do we get it back?
the answer is that no one knows.
Time is time and simply that.
you cant abuse it or misuse it or with time you will ultimatley lose it. becareful whta you ask for and who you trust.the time you waste on things that are inevitable is extremely irreplaceable. take your time use it wisely and responsibly. take moments to understand your meaning in this time and do all that you set out to do. we all wish there was that button we could press to stop the mess, but if it were meant to be there would be no time to progress and press forward. time is of the essence and cannot be gotten back.

i loved it until you mixed in the "responsibility." It seems to undermine the essence of time and its spontaneity..

"People believe that if we really want to eliminate something, focus on that. How much sense does it make for us to give the particular problem all of the energy, as opposed to focusing on trust, love, living in abundance, education, or peace? -Un.

I like this piece because it makes me want to act now, and use my "time" wisely. Before it's all gone :(
