Echoes of Time

A clock is ticking, but it's hidden far away safe and sound." - Snow Patrol

Only time survives. I've decided to make the most of my time while I'm here. That's the motivation behind all the changes I've made in my life lately. For years, I've been who other people wanted me to be and for what - to be accepted by society and to put everyone else's happiness over my own. I truly don't believe that is any way to live. I want to be happy and enjoy the short time that I'm here. Sometimes you have to be self-centered and that's okay. When I went through anxiety and depression, no one could help me go through it. It was a journey I had to travel on my own. It made me look at life in a different way. We are each responsible for our own happiness, no one can do it for us. In the end, we will be dead and gone, but time will still march on without us. I'm determined to spend my time here in the ways that will make me happy such as spending time with my kids, sharing my life with the man I love, and, of course, shopping at Anthropologie.

"I met a traveler from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert...Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away." - Percy Shelley
