Always looking forward till it is too late.

I have always looked towards something such as the weekend or a holiday etc. If one is always looking forward and making plans for stuff to do then they are not really enjoying what life is. Life is very limited and the older you get the more you realise that this world is going to pass faster and faster. I am nearly 21 and it seems like just a few weeks ago I was 20.

John Lennon once said "life is what happens to you while your busy making other plans" (John Lennon, Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy), 1980). I first heard it aged around 10 or 11 and did not understand it. The quote becomes more meaningful the older you get.

I recently had a girlfriend who showed me that time matters we were given almost a time limit before she had to go back to her country. This meant that although we could plan to meet each other we were wishing days away yet at the same time hoping the days would go as slowly as possible.

This can applied to everyone most people long forward to the weekends and hope the work days go faster. We could be losing days, weeks and even years. I am not saying that I do not look forward to events I am just saying it is important to truly look around and admire this world.
