Undervalued Concept

"Time is the only 'thing' we can't retrieve."

By Micaela ColtonPublished 8 years ago 1 min read

Time is the only 'thing' we can't retrieve.

Many spend years dwelling on lost moments—nights are spent reminiscing feeling of what was, for what they currently have. Many hours are spent procrastinating into a trance of regret and possibilities.

It's one of the most fundamental objects.

Time is priceless, yet many would trade millions to embrace a moment.

We are blinded by counting down to periods, events, the future—that we don't value the importance of the now.

It's so easy to be blinded by how precious every hour costs.

It's inevitable that we take time for granted.

We're all so invested on self-loathing that we gain an ignorant perspective of what the future contains. How precious the most 'unimportant' factors really are. We forget to contribute all that we can, to the now.

We dwell on the days that don't involve self-nourishment—purpose. We are all so incredibly invested into contributing to a self-loathing society—all morals lost.

Monday to Friday. Nine to five—the misconception of the every day.

Those who shine at 9:00 AM on a Monday morning;

They're the most rich of us all.
