Timelines

“Why is everyone in the world in such a rush. Slow down folks please.” –Activelistening

Society is all about fast paced living. Everyone is trying to move out quick, get grown quick, make money quick, have kids quick…smell the roses? For what?

You see we on a timeline. Graduate high school by 18, graduate college by 21. Have kids, get married, own a house, and be successful all before 30 cause…well…30 is old right? But how many of us really stay on this time line? Most of my senior class sure as hell aint graduating college in 2012, and none of them should feel bad about that. Since when was it about the time frame you graduated in rather than you having a degree period. Why should we smell the roses? Because they may not be there tomorrow. Why should we appreciate the people around us? Because they may not be here tomorrow. Why should we be thankful for our life today, even if it isn’t as perfect as we would like? Because we may not be here tomorrow. Please don’t forget life is not guaranteed. That’s not just a theory or some bumper sticker quote…it’s fact. My homie Frankie (RIP) he didn’t know the night he went to work he wouldn’t be coming home the next morning. But you know what, Frankie never rushed anything. He moved at his own pace, took his time, appreciated every detail of every person and everything he was doing. 26 years old, not complaining, not feeling old, but enjoying every second of it, smiling all the way through. That was Frankie. That is the attitude we all should have. Don’t let this timeline society has created control you. Move at your own pace, live for you and no one else, and do whatever makes you happy. I promise everything else will fall into place as it should.
