The Clocks Ticking ツ

As a child, you have no sense of time. You don't even truly understand the real concept of time. It doesn't exist. The only thing you know is there's a certain time you eat, pray, clean and go to bed. All the rest of the while you just play until you're called by Mom or Dad for something. Your mind doesn't have the knowledge to understand that your human clock is ticking, heading towards the last seconds of your life. The seconds that lead to eternal sleep. That nap that you'll never wake from. There is no meaning to the saying, 'you were born to die'. Youthful innocence is a gift. A gift taken much advantage of. Not purposely because essentially you have no idea that you will run out of time. As you grow, you begin to realize that time is ticking but it still doesn't mean much to you because you're still caught up in your youth. In your mind, getting old is far far away. If you're not taught well, you'll lose sense of time. If you're not taught to spend your time wisely doing things to aid you when you do get old, you'll lose out big time. The time will slip through your hands and before you know it, you won't have enough time to do those things to help aid you in your old age. With time, your body slows down, your looks begin to fade and your mind isn't as quick as it used to be. What I'm saying is this: prepare yourself for the future because you won't be young forever.
