Who Is Time?

No matter how much you try, time always manages to slip through your grasp. "Live in the moment", they say, when really the moment has already passed and a new one has arrived. How am I supposed to live in the moment when the moment is constantly escaping me? Time is no friend of mine, that has already been established. But the fact that I cannot control the one thing that dictates my life is downright frusturating. Time is always telling me what to do, where to be, and when to say what I have to before its too late. And when it is too late, instead of being understanding, time punishes me. Time is unforgiving; you do something or say something wrong, and all of the sudden what you ran through your head hundreds of times came out of your mouth a completely different sentence, and now there is no way you can take it back. The only way to fix it is with words, which time is so kind to completely erase from your memory when you desperately need them most. Time taunts you, waving its magical powers above your head, making you reach for them, only to pull them away at the last second. When yout think about it, the only thing separating you and time is numbers. Numbers that are so easily changed in math class, even subtracted from an equation altogether, are indestructible from the time the sun rises in the morning to when it sets in the evening. There is really no proper way to describe time- a dictator, a bully, a theif- except evil. But rewind your thoughts, and time becomes a completely different person. Instead of taunting you, time is taking care of you. Watching over you. Being the voice in your head when the real one is taking a break. And instead of using it's numbers to intimidate you, it really is guiding you, helping you manage your time, increasing productivty. And instead of being the incorrigible theif, time is really granting opportunities for both faillure and recovery, and a second chance. When staring at a clock, time can either be friend or foe, but it is not the numbers that decide such things, it's the person who set the clock in the first place.
