The Impossible Task of Changing the Present.

 

All those times you wish things were different you always wonder how far could you actually be in life if you managed to do your absolute best every day.

But in a strange paradoxical way “the best you could do” is exactly what you did already under the limitations you were under.

So looking at it this way, was that wasted time? Or was it wisdom you gained?

Happy New Year! 

2025 is over, to some this is a good thing, to others a bad thing, I begrudgingly admit I am personally leaning more on the negative side, time only seems to be going faster, my body is only getting older, and friends seem to be all going different ways in life.

Going back to how things were is not an option, and wishing for the future to come faster is insanity. All that remains is accepting and enduring the impossible task of living in the present.

This year, 2026, I will be turning 25, depending on your outlook and living conditions it might represent 1/4 of your expected lifetime, statistically speaking most likely it's 1/3.

But what does that mean exactly? One third of a lifetime? Not everyone dies at 75, to some people two days were one third of their lives, to some, 40 years were one third of their lives, hell, I might actually be at 3/3 of my life and I don’t know it! We never know it, and that is the scary part. Putting life on that scale makes you think you have so much time before and after the present moment… Is 100% a gamble.
