one thing

...that never stops and is constantly changing is time.

only time never waits. only time changes you&me. only this one thing. it heals and it hurts.
ever wonder how long it takes to change your life? what measure of time is enough to be life-altering? is it four years, like high school? one year? an eight-week walking tour? can your life change in a month, or a week, or a single day? we are always in a hurry to grow up, to go places, to get ahead, but when you are young, one hour can change everything.

there are all kinds of ways to force yourself to decide. we do it all the time, make decisions. if we actually thought about every decision we made, we would be paralyzed. which word to say next. which way to turn. what to look at. which number to dial. you have to decide which decisions you are actually going to make, and then you have to let the rest of them go. it is the places where you think you have a choice that can really mess you up.
