Yesterday I was talking to my pal Janie on the phone and I was saying how I couldn't wait for 2 years, 2 months, and 16 days to go by so that I could retire and go home to California and start a brand new life on my own. She said that she would often wish for time to go by also, like when her vacation would start or I would be coming out, etc, and she remembered being 17 and wishing she could be 18 so that she could do whatever she wanted, and then wishing for this or that etc.
Then it dawned her that in actuality she was wishing chunks of her life away at the same time. And she's right...if the next 2 year, 2 months, and 16 days went by in the blink of an eye, so would that amount of my life. But then I decided in this case, I would be okay with that because my life isn't all that anyway and I could do without it.
Really though I think everyone wishes at one time or another for time to go by quickly so they can get to the next chapter of their life, or go on that vacation, or start that new job, etc. They don't think about their own life aspect in that period, probably because after all, just wishing for time to go by doesn't actually make it happen.
