The Weight of Time: Savoring the slow and Cherishing the fast.

Do you ever catch yourself staring at the clock, watching the minutes crawl by, each tick feeling like an eternity? Time moves painfully slow in those moments—waiting in a doctor’s office, sitting through a funeral, or even anticipating the start of a wedding. Sometimes in the evening, I glance at the clock, and it feels like time has almost stopped. It drags during the dullest moments, like suffering through a terrible TV show or a movie that just won’t end.

And then, there are the moments that slip away too fast—the ones I want to hold onto forever. A great movie that ends too soon, a day at an amusement park that disappears in a blur of laughter, a date night that feels like it just started before it’s time to go home. Time itself doesn’t change, but how we feel it does.

Maybe the slow moments are there to remind us to pause, to take a breath, to be grateful for the time we have. And maybe the fast ones remind us to cherish every second, to be fully present, because no matter how much we want to, we can’t rewind. All we can do is make the most of every moment—whether time is crawling or flying—because each one is a gift.
