Day Two Hundred and Sixty:  Day Tripper

I definitely need to start writDay Two Hundred and Sixty:  Day Tripper

I definitely need to start writing these earlier in the day.  Today was a good day, but it has been draining, as usual, and now I think I should sleep instead of writing too much but I thought I’d ponder for a minute on the passage of time and the ambiguity of the people around me on how they appreciate time.  I mean, I know that I myself find it hard to appreciate the time I am given for life because I spend it doing things, keeping busy, and maybe I could argue that those things are worth it and I fill my time with good things, but it seems to me that sometimes it all just slips away.  Why is it that time doesn’t come with a manual?  “How to use Time properly.”  I’d buy that, I’d buy that all over the place.  How does one use their time to the fullest?  What constitutes as “worthy” time fillers, exactly?  And are these things different for every person or is ….essentially….the meaning of life and how we should fill our life different for every person?  How confusing and peculiar and precarious life is, and time, and how fleeting it is and must be for us all.  But one thing I know for sure is that even during these busy days, weeks, etc. it is not worth it unless I enjoy it or am feeling needed.  Those are my two “essentials” when it comes to filling my time.  I hope you all filled your time today with lovely things, too.
