Pro-Time

Now isn’t that a hoot? It’s so dark outside that the stars are glistening. Yet, you remember the sun rays seeping through only moments ago. Funny how that works, huh? Better continue typing, friend.

Well, take a look out there! Dusk! Dusk! Dusk! And look at how much was done since the morning light! Quite productive, huh? Better take a break, friend.

What’s that? Friends? Events? Food? Never needed that last one myself. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. So many obligations. So many needs. There are only so many spoons one could put in the chili bowl, friend. I gotta say, this piece you’re writing is so interesting. Filled with so much thought, passion, and drive! Now imagine…POOF…gone! Or at least, made invalid… by me. When you think about it, that must grind your gears the most! All of that work, the same amount as others, or even more so, and getting zip, nada, zilch. You might as well have done nothing at all. Don’t fret, friend. Time is what you make of it. You have all of those AMs that go unused, don’t you? You use those for sleep? Well, make those two things I never needed.

Did I hear right? Friends? Events? Food? Never had that last one before. I never even considered that! So many plans! So many needs! You must have an infinite amount of spoons to put in some infinite chili. I gotta say, it’s crazy how much you just achieved in a day. Projects, assignments, and arts. There are so many! Now imagine…POOF…gone! Or at least, less to worry about tomorrow. When you think about it, there’s never really an end goal to anything. All of that work, the same amount as others, or even more so, all finished. There will always be more to do the next day. Enjoy the now, friend. Time is what you make of it. You have all of those PMs to do whatever you want. You want to use those to do tomorrow’s stuff? Well, it’s your call, I guess.

Hold the phone! Now look over yonder! Isn’t that swell? You love our chats so much that the cracking of dawn snuck up. I adore that you worry for me, but you better start rushing, my friend.

What?! It’s already over?! Time sure does fly when you’re having fun! Never got that phrase myself. I mean, I am still here, right? You love our chats so much that hours felt like mere seconds. That’s a crazy thought.

But, at the end of the day, I’m all in your head.
