To live and to love is to hurt. We live in a world built on change. And living in this world that plunges ever forward into the future you have to realize that the world you live in at this moment is not the world you will wake up in tomorrow. It's not the same river.
We all know this deep down. It's what makes us what we are. The seconds ticking away are palpable. For some of us that is just too much. They grab and pull at every moment like they can make it last a little longer with concerted effort. You see them get hysterical because the drive through line is too long, their pen has run out of ink, or because it decided to rain today. They try to the best of their ability to make all moments the same. In this they can make their world seem more safe.

Thank God. Some days are completely unbearable, while others are amazing. The wonderful days I want to repeat over and over, and the horrible ones I want to fast forward through.
It makes me think of this quote I read by Quintus Horatius Flaccus Horace - “Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which, in prosperous circumstances, would have lain dormant.”
Just something to chew on. =)
