The seasons of life go by so fast...

[lifeisweird]

I don't understand it. I'm in my mid 20s. It felt like I was only just a child and recently a teenager, and surely it wasn't that long ago that I was an undergraduate? Yet now I'm an adult and my peers are slowly starting to move into homes with long-term partners and have Grown-Up Jobs. Engagements and babies and mortgages on the horizon and yet I feel like I'm so behind. I feel too young for any of those things when I'm not, I know I'm not.

I feel like it's some kind of secret nobody told me. Life is so short and quick. The seasons of life go by so quickly, if you take your eye off of the running clock before you know it everyone will have progressed and life will have run its course without you. I don't get it. Genuinely.

They do indeed. Make the most of being young - stress incontinence is waiting just around the corner.

And it only gets faster as you get older. Especially once you have children.

I can't bear my DC growing up so quickly I'll blink and they'll be teens. I'll blink again and they'll have DC of their own. Arghhhh

Are h my. Just wait until you’re nearly sixty and you wake up each Mir ing feeling 25, then remember.

Each season has its consolations, though. Ours is our first grandchild who has brought us joy I just can’t describe.

Try to enjoy each moment. Those you can’t enjoy, try be thankful for, they’re moments some don’t have.

(Blimey, that sounds heavy. After cancer though, I try to live by that)

Sorry, that should have read “oh my” and then “each morning”.

'Zhoom, what was that? That was your life, Mate! Oh, that was quick. Do I get another? Sorry, Mate. That's your lot'
