Time After Time

So, another year of daylight savings time. I don't know how many other people are regretting the loss of that hour. Especially if you stayed up until 2 in the morning and saw that hour disappear like I did.

It made me consider what all of us really have to lose. We lost an hour, sure, we do every year. But we gain it back come the end of the year. Life you never really get back at the end of a year. Between one friend leaving for a semester in Japan, another leaving the country after graduation, and a cousin's upcoming wedding, it's really making me appreciate how close life is to time.

I'm actually sort of annoyed that this post ended up turning out like the stereotypical "enjoy your life" anecdotes, but they become anecdotes for a reason. Since we should try and enjoy life, shouldn't we also try and enjoy speech? Even more importantly, responsibility for making the most of life?
