I often hear people say “time is really dragging this week” what they mean is that time feels as if its going slower than usual that they can not wait till the weekend but its feeling like its never going to come round. I really miss that feeling. These days my weeks, months and even years seem to go by so very fast.
I have been thinking quite a bit on time recently mainly for 2 reasons :
- I’m turning 24 this Sunday which really does feel strange to me. In many ways I do not feel even 18 let alone 24 isn’t time funny you grow up without even realising it sometimes.
- I seem to have managed to misplace nearly 4 weeks, really not sure where they went. Although I do believe I recall
- a lot of sleeping
- crazy amounts of baking because whoops we forgot that we even had 2 packets of yeast let alone that they had a use by date end of March
- a manic 2 days of embroidery – why? because I am obviously completely insane (will definitely be adding a new post soon to explain my madness)
- more sleeping
- way too much Matchbox Twenty and Rob Thomas music playing and somehow still not sick of it
- stupid amount of hours playing extremely silly and frustrating games trying but eventually failing to achieve a gold trophy on Neopets daily dare ( why? don’t ask I haven’t an answer other than I may have an addiction and a long running personal goal to one year achieving a perfect score at this challenge)
- a strange compulsion to rearrange my blog sidebar
- Much frustration because I managed much else but let another day go by without a new blog post
Funny how time just flies by and it seems like you have done very little but when you think on it it can be surprising how much you have achieved or grown. I will continue to be perpetually amazed that I am another year older and am also likely to “have yet to learn to better prioritise and organise myself” for many years to come. But who knows? its something to work towards I suppose

I will leave you with a song I’ve listened to numerous times this last few weeks
and a link to a poem about time by a blogger I follow which had a hand in me thinking about how time seems to be going so fast ![]()
Time Flies by Balqis










Dear Maria, I’m touched because you mentioned the poem I wrote. Thanks a lot for including it in this post.
We all know how time flies – at certain times, it seems to be so fast. Why? Because we don’t have enough time to accomplish even a simple task and would be even more surprising the 24 hours a day isn’t sufficient at all.
I like this post. Wishing you many happy returns of the day and many more to come!

Your quite welcome, I enjoyed your poem very much
Very true wish it would slow down sometimes but then I would probably just be wishing it to go faster
Thank you it was a pleasant day although quite hectic
I do think most of the time that my time has been frozen since kidding days! No joke- though time going around!
Those fast days have one problem- once you think about ‘em- it seems like they happened too long ago-
It happens so regularly with me.

hehe, not a bad time to be frozen in though
Very true Moon. Time really is a peculiar thing
First of all… HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!! Now I’m sorry I didn’t read this sooner so I could say it to you on the day… but better late than never!
I stuck in this “oh my Christ, where did the last year go” state of mind.. I’m coming to my last week of my masters program, and I just booked my flight home to Ireland.. one way..eek! I remember booking one way to France and being terrified like it was last week!
I’ll never get used to time going this fast, I want to be young again.
Ps. How’s 24 treating you? I’m there in May
Really hope you’re doing well Frisso! xx
Thank You
no matter I didn’t get online till a few days after my birthday anyway.
I can completely relate to that feeling, will you miss France or are you just going to be excited/happy to get back home?
Actually its really weird turning 24 as I may not quite feel my whole 24 years but I do feel older. Which for me is a really good thing & not a feeling I’m used to. I feel I have been in a sort of time bubble where years went past but I never felt any older that to actually notice the change in myself this year was pretty unexpected. I actually feel more confident in being an adult rather than feeling like I am playacting at it. Seriously weird
I’m really excited to get back home. I’ll certainly miss the awesome weather here.. its been 21 degrees the last few days, been in a kind of heat related bliss!
Well, hopefully you’ll still do silly young people things even though you feel older, which I plan on continuing for my entire life
How was your family thing? Hope it went lovely for you!
Wishing you a safe trip home
Definitely not going to stop doing silly things in general anytime soon its not in my nature to be completely sensible all the time
It was enjoyable thank you. I don’t think you can have a family gathering without some drama though, at least we never seem to manage it
Oops ! sorry Maria …I’ve come here too late !
Very Happy Belated Birthday Maria ! May all your wishes come true !
Nice post !
No worries kitty your here now and thank you for your sentiments
What gets me is that while time is dragging, and it takes longer and longer to get to the weekend, if you blink you seem to loose hours.
For example, I’m guilty of moaning work days drag so much, yet I am equally shocked that a quarter of this year has gone already.

Thank You for your comment
Your right, overall I think time moves fast for everyone even if it feels like certain days are dragging, it is quite an odd Phenomenon.
I’m just missing the days that go slowly and am constantly surprised that I never seem to find even a day that drags.
