When you are young, life seems to be this large amount of time you have. Most people figure they have about 100 years, which yes, sounds like a long time.
As a child you probably felt like you or your loved ones would always be there. Like you had a infinite amount of time on this earth. You never thought of growing older, and especially dying or loosing loved ones.
I think we can all agree that as we get older time seems to speed up. Days seem shorter; Weeks seem to go by faster and months just disappear. One day you are celebrating the fourth of July with fireworks and the next thing you know you are putting up the Christmas decorations. I am not sure exactly what age this happens at, but, it seems to happen to everyone.
You try and slow your days down, get the most out of them and enjoy yourself. But Time keeps on speeding up. You get older and there are more and more people that seem to be younger than you around. You notice your family and friends and parents getting older. You may even start to lose your favorite great grandparents.
There is nothing you can do but move along with time. Thinking about it is pretty sad. But as you think about it remember there is still time to connect and communicate with those you love. Take advantage every chance you get to write and send stationery note cards to those you love.

I think its important for married couples to have little dates or send that cute text because something so little can make just a drastic difference.
I hear you Michael. My work has affected my marriage life, sometimes we just come home and fight because of the lack of the time we failed to spend with each other. We both agree that we need to change something. As humans, we must fight for love, sympathy, compassion because that is something that should not compromised.
It is funny how I was just thinking that when we are young, we are so carefree. Yes we are attached to our parents but we are so engaging in exploring the world that we cherish the moment. However once we get older, everything just changes. We worry more due to many factors and get quickly attached to others. That itself is our downfall. Whether its divorce, death, or anything else, it ultimately leaves us with an imprint in our heart.
Something that reminds me alot about sympathy is the TV show Scrubs. keep in mind that these doctors supposedly have to always look at death. Since doctors cannot be attached to their patients, it makes their jobs so much more harder. But as I was watching the show, I realized that truly showing sympathy knowing that it could negatively impact your heart must be the hardest thing to do.
We always strive for others to love us and when we don’t have it, we blame ourselves or others for not being able to find love. In actuality, love should start within first. First love yourself, love every part of you within, love your strengths and your weaknesses and in that find that inner peace. Once you grasp inner contentment, you will become a bloomed flower that will ultimately lure all the birds and the bees to come nest in your petals. It happens naturally rather than forced.
