60seconds.

one minute.60seconds. so much can happen in such a short amount of time. on monday night i was lying in bed. restless as usual thinking about everything i have going on in the upcoming week. in one minute i thought about  millions of things. isn't it funny how we say we only saw something for a minute, only did it for a minute. we use that expression to talk about something that happened quick, something that doesn't really matter. but so much can happen in a minute. friendships can be broken. the words i love you can be muttered. your life can change in an instant. but minutes seem to pass by slow at times and fast other times. when i'm in school it seems like five minutes is 20. but why, do we want time to speed up, when we are always trying to buy more time. if you had one more minute to study the material before a test, would it make a difference? if you spent one more minute with the person you love who isn't there anymore, could you have said something that changed your lives forever?i don't think i ever thought about how much a minute means to me until recently. i feel like the school days drag on and on. but when i get home the 5 hours that i have to do my homwork before i am lethargic and don't care anymore seem to zoom by. where do those minutes go? why do they flee so fast without us knowing.  and then when its friday night and i'm lying in bed at 1.01 am im thinking where the hell did those past 5 days go. im one more week closer to being finished with highschool. while im so excited about june 4(graduation!!) i am scared. i'm on my OWN. i don't have years left here i have months, days, hours, minutes, seconds. these minutes and days are going to go by faster than i know at least that is what everyone tells me. its almost november, i'm almost halfway done with my final year of highschool. is it real? is it finally my time? im 17 years old. i've been to more countries than i ever imagined i would go to. ive met more people than i can count. done things that i regret. done things i am proud of. and have regrets, but would i go back and change the things i did wrong? no probably not. those things have shaped me and for every minute that i spent doing them. it wasn't a minute wasted. it was a minute learning more about myself, and how i can react to situations. if it wasn't for all the experiences in my life, i wouldn't be the person i am today. i am sure of that. a minute in a song, can change your life. a minute. just think about that. it probably takes you 3 minutes to read my entry, but did you learn anything? do you consider this time wasted? is time ever wasted?
