Time Isn't Real

One time I bought some beer for Christmas Eve with my family and the cashier saw that I was 24 and went "Yep, almost 30!" Ouch! 6 years away and I was almost 30? Well, her perception of time may be off from most of us, but 6 years is a long time!

Now I'm a year and a half away from being 30 and I could care less. Age means nothing, it's just how many times you've been around the sun. We created time so that life felt less unnerving-- can you imagine if we didn't create the concept of time and life just went on and on?

Time gives us anchor points of how old we are, and society tells us how far in life we must be at that age. Thankfully, society is usually wrong and simply dogmatic.

The truth is, you can do anything at any age, for the most part. People like to say "I'm too old to do x" but that is an excuse. If you have a drive to do something, you can do it, that's the beauty of life.

Time may not be real, but it's also important not to waste it. Don't waste the short amount of time you have on this rock doing things you don't enjoy or that don't lead you to a better life.
