1 second, no big deal..

If 60 seconds makes up 1 minute, and 60 minutes make up an hour, 24 hours make up a day, then in 1 day we are given 86,400 seconds. To expand on that there are 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 525,600 minutes, or 31,536,000 seconds in a year. Not that I'm great in math, especially not algebra, but if "X" represents the amount of years in a life, and "Y" represents the time you spent actually living it (you know, to the fullest), then I would say that the ideal equation would be as simple as X=Y. However, I can't speak for everyone, but my own equation falls dreadfully short of that.

So, this is about time... Time goes on forever, however we all have a limited amount of it. Maybe you have extra time on your hands, so you need to kill some, but soon you won't have enough. Time isn't something that can be made, it can though, be given to you and then taken away just as easily. As time ticks on, life is given, and life is taken away. Although time will always exist, in a life, it is a non-renewable resource. And just like other resources humans have access to, it is wasted. I would guess that time is probably the most wasted resource out there.

Let's go back to these "X" and "Y" factors. The difference of these factors from ones in a normal math problem is that there are neither an independent nor dependent variable. Every single person has a different X, therefore are given a different amount of Y time. Now, if you're still with me, impressive, but I'll stop with the math before I confuse myself. I'm not here trying to set an expiration date for anyone, I'm just trying to point out to you, and myself, how precious time can be.

My mom was telling me about the daughter of her friend who just passed away. The girl was 14.
When I was 14 I was a freshman in high school. I hadn't the slightest idea about what life could be. I took time for granted. If that girl would have been me, which it very much could have been, my life would have been near nothing because at that point I was alive, but I was far from living. Now, I didn't know this girl so I'm not saying that was her life, it just would have been mine...

Anyways, look at me talking now that I'm a whole seventeen years old, I just think I've got everything figured out, right? No way, I don't think that the slightest bit. My eyes have only just began to open and see a glimmer of what life can be. And I still take plenty of my time for granted. Just today, I've wasted most my time sleeping and watching TV. What I'm saying is just logic that I'm trying to get into my own head, and if it slips it's way into yours as well that'd be awesome. 1 second loss, no big deal; 1 minute is seemingly nothing; 1 hour wasted, oh crap... That's time you and I can never get back. And soon that hour turns into 24 of them, the next thing we know a year has vanished. What if that were our last year, and we had nothing to show for it because we sat around instead of living every moment to the max.

Let's all look down at our watches. You see that itty bitty hand that doesn't stop moving. It shows how time does not stop. That would be another second you just watched go by, and what are doing in life? Are you just alive, wasting precious and irreplaceable moments? Or are you living, really living?

Scientists have recently established that time travel will never happen

You can kill time, or treasure it... You only get that second once
