Time Thief and Companion

Who do you spend the most time with?

Well… here, I’d like to talk about my spare time.

For, if I speak about who I spend the most of time with, the answer would certainly be my family and my home.

Nor would I talk about reading and writing, because I believe I write about them every now and then.

So… can we just talk about Time and its two main jobs in life?

Sometimes, he is just a highly professional thief.

Yes, he is.

He sneaks and glides, stealing hours, days, and years from our life with a smirk on his face.

And we can’t stop him. 

You know why?

Because we give him carte blanche to sneak and glide and steal our life right under our nose with the famous phrase: I will do it tomorrow 

‘Tomorrow, you’ll say the same,’ Mr Time Thief bursts out laughing in your face. 

Then, on another day, Mr Time Companion gives you a surprise visit.

That’s when you appreciate every moment and make good use of it.

That’s when you set your mind on your plans, choosing to do them now rather than later.

And here, Mr time lingers, stretches, and sips his cup of tea for as long as you wish. 

Wouldn’t you lock the door before Mr Time Thief, yet open it wide to Mr Time Companion whenever he decides to pay a visit.

I try my best.

With time-is-gold thoughts,

Nahla 

P.s. By the way, have a look at The Fisherman’s Tales post before he gives up telling any.
