Is it just me or is the world we're living in just keeps spinning faster and faster each day? Some people are getting engaged after one year of getting together. Others pass by too quickly, you hardly notice them. Good ol' friends start to stab you right upfront. A certain level of friendship changes - it's either launched sky-high like a rocket, or sent drowning with a heavy anchor to the bottom of the ocean.
The obscure reality of change is inevitable. It affects people, culture and God-knows-what. But change is just too natural that sometimes, we tend to ignore every risk that comes with it or every possibility of growth that we fail to grasp. Consequences follow. Regretful hearts cry.
"Ang bilis ng panahon" is now just a common expression of how time passes quickly and you, missing the things you once owned. It's also a bunch of words that counts every opportunity that you let slip through your fingers. We often say this with a smile, eyes filled with tears, or with a blank expression that covers up the emotions you wish to hide. No matter how we see it, it all suggest the same thing: nothing on earth is for good.
I am guilty of living in the fast lane of my own world, but it doesn't mean I don't appreciate every single second of life. Call me old-fashioned but if you'd ask me, I would still prefer to travel on the country-side rather than on a highway - taking every stepping stone one by one, building relationships with a long list of joys and pains, falling in love out of friendship. I find joy in old castles that age through time; not by watching sandcastles being washed away into the sea.
