Time is a thief..

They say that time heals all wounds. Not true.
Time steals your life one minute at a time until you can no longer tolerate it.
Time is all we have in this world.
We fall in hypnotic states for hours every day. Just to make it go faster.
But there is hope somehow. Black holes can make time stand still. If only we could tap into that...

Time does heal though, because with distance comes perspective. Though a black hole won't solve it because you won't survive it, nothing really does I think.
I know we like to make it go faster or slower, but I don't think too much about it. I prefer to just enjoy it and make the most of it. I find that it being limited gives it value, I would hate to be immortal.

What if time works for you? If you fill the vacant time with things your passionate about there's no loss. Only time that bares memories of passion. That's what time is. A solvent for experience. I guess your black hole would be a deep dive into the single most important thing you have to offer. It takes time to discover it though so catch 22? Dive in and enjoy??

I'm fine with things as they are. I have no desire for endless time.

I feel more as if time is being stolen from me. Every day I figure out how to make it pass at a dead-end job while I stare out at mountains I'd rather be walking in. I am confined for a set amount of time to a cage and my agency is an illusion bc there is no enjoying my free time without money. I train myself to make it pass and then find that my hours off begin to slip by as well

I have a desire for small pockets of endless time, a few here and there that I can use to make things right in my endlessly complex world. I know that this goal will escape me so long as time moves, and so I gotta let go of it

Time goes by faster the older I get. And time seems to fly the better shape I get in too.
The more productive I am, the faster time seems to fly.

IF you look closely you can see it go by. I kind of liken it to the flow of life.

Here's some advice
Time you enjoy wasting isn't wasted time
Many people claim that when we leave our bodies we return to the "all" they often have different words for it.
I think that's rad
-------------------- Only hope can give rise to the emotion we call despair. But it is nearly impossible for a man to try to live without hope, so I guess that leaves Man no choice but to walk around with despair as his companion.

Yeah the soul never dies unless a rare soul killer kills it. And then there is something called " soul shards" which are pieces of a persons soul that was killed( not destroyed, mind you); and sometimes the soul shards are reincarnated and that's the whole "kindred soul" theory.

Everything is happening all at once, it is all of the time.

Ultimately you are not a person, but a focal point where the universe is becoming conscious of itself. What an amazing miracle." - Eckhart Tolle “Everybody is ‘you’. Everybody is ‘I’.

Time is the difference between two states of existence. Much like money is the difference between two states of exchange. In this way, Time = Money. They are both imaginary variables that exist within constructs of thought, but which derive their value from non-imaginary constants.

It was literally the best week to win because I started a few college classes on Monday and haven't done any classes regularly in like 8 years.

Time is a psychological abstraction.
You have nothing to worry about.
You're already timeless.
