As you grow older, time seems to pass you by faster, as if it is reminding you that the time left with you is decreasing.
That sounds a bit depressing, which is the last thing I want this post to be.
So, let’s talk about other, happier things.

What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly. ~Richard Bach.
What is a good life if not a constant endeavour to transform – to change – for the better, and there is no better time to bring about the change than the present. Human nature, however, is no exception to the sound laws of Physics. A body in motion will continue to remain in motion until an external force is applied to stop it, and similarly a body that is lying still will continue to remain in that state until an external force is applied to move it. Nature is changing every moment, but ironically it does not embrace change with open arms. An effort has to be made for change to happen, and making an effort needs an application of energy, that is sometimes hard to find.
… and just like that 2015 is done and dusted.
There were so many things I had expected would happen in 2015, but like most years more things were left undone than were acually done. It is a good thing, I guess. It keeps you looking towards the future with hope, and hope, they tell me, is the most powerful thing of them all.
2014 is here, and, let’s face it, it will be gone just as quickly as 2013 did. You may find it weird to be talking about the end of an year that has hardly begun, but if you have lived long enough you would have realised that dates and months and years are mere numbers, and like all numbers, they deceive us.
That said, I must also say that I like New Year’s day a lot. It is a day that promises a new beginning. No matter how bad things were in the year that went by, the New Year’s day comes bearing the promise of a fresh start. It is true that, if we want, any day can be the beginning of something new and beautiful. If that happens, it is a great thing, but if it doesn’t then there is no time better than the New Year’s day to start something new of our own.
There were a lot of things that I had planned to do in 2011, but most of them never happened. There was too much to do and it seemed that there was simply not enough time. I guess there never is enough time in our lives to do all the things that we want to do.
But, the funny thing is that when I look back at 2011, I can’t help but wonder: Did I do the best in the time that was available to me?
