Time passing, days turning and years passing, is a reminder to be present.
You wonāt remember or be able to write everything down to every detail.
You canāt always remember how the birds sounded that one day, how that coffee really made that day better or be able to capture how that river or mountain truly made you truly feel.
Coping with the passage of time is to practice being present, in those moments thinking to yourself
ābe present, enjoy this as itās happeningā
& being grateful for it.

Iām quite the sentimental kid so I am constantly in my head about time passing. Iāve found though that the practice of looking back (I read my old journals, for instance) and really being in awe sometimes of just how far Iāve come helps. In a similar but opposite vein, looking forward (making set goals and taking the time to imagine the person youāll become) is great too. If youāve forgotten memories you once assumed would stay with you forever, consider that the space in your memory/mind had to open up for something even better thatās coming along. Take the time to wonder what those better memories could be. Thereās something equally terrifying and incredibly liberating about time. You wanna go back about as bad as you wanna skip ahead, thatās the game.
Coping with it looks different for everyone, though. These are just my two cents and whatās been helping me at this moment in my life.

A shifting memory that may have simply passed by your mind can be someone elseās most valuable frame of time. And so I live my entire life, holding on to that single moment that we shared. I am afraid of forgetting that moment, as it is too fragile and intangible, making me feel like I am searching for something out of reach.
But I sincerely hope that it was at least a good fragment of life for you too. They say memories are captured in different perspectives for different people; I hope this moment was as wonderful for you as much as how it lingers in my brain everyday. And although they say that the world may wither the moment all of our dreams come true, I promise to pray for the world to maintain its stability and beauty since as long as the existence of this planet remains, the atmosphere of our days will remain eternal.

If you played an instrument when younger, I 100% recommend owning it when youāre older.
I took Flute lessons all my school years and stopped after graduating.
Now Iām older, Iām really grateful for them. Also, appreciate the instrument much more without the pressure to learn and progress.
Musical instruments are incredible hobbies, gorgeous, and itās never too late to start learning !!

Physical magazines and displaying them is a lost art !!
There are some beautiful magazine covers out there, they need to be appreciated and read.

I love doing this! Outside seating at a cafe / restaurant / bar and just being.
Take a moment to sonder.
Watching others experience life and go about their day.
Coffee or wine in one hand, cigarette in the other - itās amazing.
