The clock is ticking.
It’s working against me.
I am standing still
but time is moving on.
Others walk past me,
achieving their life goals.
I am standing still.
I am going nowhere.
The future is near
And I don’t have a plan.
I am standing still.
I am falling behind.
Minutes become days.
And the days become weeks.
I am standing still.
Life is passing me by.
Baffy Basics 
Indeed, time is always against us. but you will reach your your destination, just enjoy the process.

Just remember that none of us are promised tomorrow. So all those minutes you see in the future may never some to pass. When you realize that you start to live in the present. I work in healthcare and I can’t tell you how fast life can change for anyone regardless if you are healthy or sick, innocent or guilty, young or old. Forget having a plan. It is overrated!

If you’re writing, you’re moving. Despair is far from you. Believe in your vision for your life, I bet you already know what it is.

Liked reading it! Everyone always seem to be in a rush to reach somewhere. But sometimes it is okay to wait and watch and then take a step. At least that’s what I am trying to tell myself these days 😀

I understand this feeling. Walking on a treadmill as other are walking further in the distance…. You will eventually catch up… Everybody has different timing…
