Go enjoy life

Time flies by fast

It’s almost like things never last

You think of the future at a young age

But when it comes to the future you can comprehend how much you’ve really aged

It’s almost like a clock is ticking and your running out of time

So you end up trying to find ways to spend that time, knowing you don’t have much of it

Thats why its important to do things now instead of wait

It’s important to do things before it’s too late

I never used to pay much attention when people would say “time flies,” but now I see that it’s true

There are many things I regret not doing and before it’s too late I’m doing the things I didn’t do before and the things I’ve always wanted to do

The best thing to do to avoid time is not procrastinate  

Make sure you stick to what you want to do and never lose faith in yourself

I had to learn things the hard way, and although I’m still young I still see the clock ticking

So please take my advice, and go out there, go enjoy life and do the things you’ve always wanted to do.
