As in ehn… the rate at which we’re growing these days ehn, time should calm down small na. I’m now at that stage of life where I know people who are getting married, I know people who are losing loved ones and I also know people who are living the kind of life that I would love to live. As an adult, there are so many things I have to learn to do, introvert or not. Whether I like it or not, I have to turn up for my friends and family both when they’re in their ups and when they’re in their downs.
Everywhere I go, I see children, I see pregnant women, I see teenagers. It’s the circle of life. It’s never-ending and it will keep going on no matter what any of us does. In a few decades, we’ll be old school and the children we’re calling small today will be the ones championing our futures. By then, we’ll be the outdated ones and have to rely on them to be conversant with the trends of the time.
So, if there is one thing I would like to tell them, it’s for them to know that there is no time at all, but there’s still time. It might sound confusing, but this is the truth. If a man dies at 30, people will say he’s too young to die. If the same man is foolish at 30, people will say that he’s too old to be that way. What am I saying? There really is no time, life is short. The days fly by so much that in the blink of an eye, months and years have passed.
Last week, I went out with my guys just to chill and we were talking about how so much time has passed since we met and how much has changed since then. It made us realize that time could be going without you even noticing it. So, there is no point in living a life that does not bring you happiness. Spending even an hour doing something you don’t want to do should be taboo and should be avoided like a plague.
If you’re going to get married, do it because you’ve seen someone that loves and makes you happy. If you want to have kids, have them because you’re ready both financially and mentally to chest the arrival of a baby. Whatever it is you’re looking to do, make sure you’re doing it for yourself. Don’t make the mistake of doing it out of pressure, you’ll regret it. Don’t marry out of pressure, or because you’re getting old and all your mates are married. The truth is that as long as it’s not something you originally wanted, your happiness can never be total.
Eventually, what you really want will come along and it will be difficult not to stray. Even if you end up not straying, you might never be happy again because then you would know what you’re missing and you also know that you’re not getting it.
So, like I said, there is no time to do things that don’t make you happy. So while you’re at it, chase that dream job, make that money, travel around the world, and have fun!!! Because no one knows tomorrow, if you miss them now, you might never get to experience them.
But then, while there is no time, there is still time! No matter how much time you think you’ve lost, it’s never too late to start. There’s a saying that the best time to start was yesterday, but the second best time is this minute! Yeah, you can never be too late to go after what you want for yourself.
When you go on TikTok, you’ll see really mature people making content and they always have followers who engage in their content. They make money from it and always smile at the bank, meanwhile, some of their peers keep thinking that it’s too late for them. No matter what it is you want to do, there is still time for you!
You can still get that dream job, you can still be a successful actor or artist. Whatever it is that you want to go after, you can still do that. When it comes to chasing your dreams, there is no deadline. It all boils down to you and how much you want it. That will always make all the difference.
So, my dear friends, don’t forget this tidbit. Life is not to be rushed, take your time so you can enjoy every second of it. It should be enjoyed and not endured. If something is not worth your time, then don’t do it. It’s as simple as that. In the same way, if a person is not worth your time, don’t pay them any mind. Focus only on what is important and what makes you happy. Believe me, you’ll see the wonders this will work on your life as a whole.
