don't blink

I used to think my life was going by in slow motion.  Every day seemed to last three days.  I had the same routine.  I talked to the same people.  I ate the same breakfast.  I wore the same outfits day in and day out.  But as of late it seems I've blinked and my whole life is different.  In a matter of a moment my boring hum-drum life changed into a completely different animal.  I'm on the adventure of a lifetime.  Three days in and I can hardly believe it's already been three days.  In some ways I'm waiting for life to slow down again, but I have a feeling life won't.  Life has a way of doing that to you. 

Some say your childhood is the best time of your life.  I wonder if it feels that way because childhood takes so long to get through.  Life has a way of snowballing on you.  Or at least it does me.  Childhood was great, don't get me wrong, but there were definite days when I longed to be grown up.  High school was a little more of a blur and college even more-so.  Then - BOOM - I fell in love and life started really happening - faster and faster and faster!  It makes me wonder how much faster can it really get? 

How 'bout you, void?  Is your life trucking along at a 100mph pace?  Or, are you waiting for your life to pick up the pace?  Be careful, Void, don't blink or you might miss the moments which you've been waiting for since childhood.  Don't blink, or you might miss the best parts...the quick parts...the exciting parts...the parts you'll want to remember until you die.

I guess that's why I'm thankful for you, Void.  Thanks for letting me write down the parts I might easily forget otherwise.
