Have you ever looked at the calendar and wondered where the week went? One moment it's Monday morning, and before you know it, the weekend is already over. Days turn into weeks, weeks become months, and suddenly another year has passed. It feels as though time is moving faster than ever. Many people remember childhood as a period when time seemed endless. Summer vacations felt long, and birthdays appeared to take forever to arrive. As adults, however, life often becomes filled with responsibilities, routines, deadlines, and countless distractions. We become so focused on getting through each day that we barely notice the passage of time until we stop and reflect. Technology also plays a role. We spend hours scrolling through social media, watching videos, and jumping from one task to another. What feels like a few minutes can easily become several hours. Before we realize it, the day is gone. The truth is that time has not actually sped up. We have simply become busier, more distracted, and more occupied than ever before. When every day looks the same, our minds tend to blur them together, making weeks and months feel shorter. This realization should encourage us to live more intentionally.
