Time, a friend, and an Enemy.
I watch the clock as it tick tocks the hours away. Never enough time in the day, never the hours I want to spend doing everything that suits my interest before the hours call back to me. I curse time, the enemy who forces me from the present and takes me to the uncertain future.
Time is an ally, a friend who releases the pain and helps me find a new horizon. As long as I have time I have potential and a future. I cannot complain so hard about the present as I know that time will sweep it away and all my troubles of today will be different when I turn around again and five years have gone by.
I’m lost in my thoughts on time, an ally whom I hope will sweep me into better times, and an enemy who makes me move on before I feel I’m ready.

I know how you feel. I often wish I was able to control time so I could stay in moments that seem to go too fast.

You should read Einstein’s Dreams — I believe the author is Alan Lightman. It’s right up your alley!

yes! That’s it. I want a new job - a continuation of my career, but I don’t want to feel forced.

Time is indeed fickle. When I was little I thought Christmas would never come.
Now it’s here before I know it.
“Oh my, Where did that gray hair come from?”
