Time

I used to be fascinated with the passage of time. I still am, I suppose. My watch chirps at me on the hour to remind me that my time is passing. I love calendars and diaries and journals and notebooks and all things similar. (Have you noticed?!) When I was younger and not as digital,

I don’t know if I can handle any more of this sort of introspection. Really not much can come of it. All I know is that there is a whole bunch that I don’t know and even more that I don’t know I don’t know. What gets me though, are the things that I know I know that I wish I didn’t know. Those are the worst.
