Stress and crap

So I got a new job at Passionflower working in the kitchen. It's pretty awesome getting free ice cream and making all these fancy $15 desserts, but man I'm working practically everyday of week... for 6 hours.

Add this to uni, a 2000 word essay, and having to take care of certain things for my mom and you have one dead Gabriel.

One thing I noticed I do when all the shit piles up into a massive shit-tower is listen to old music. It reminds me of simpler days, when life wasn't quite as taxing. One of my personal favourites- that's been on repeat for the past hour- is 99 Red Balloons.. How can you not like this song? If my life had a theme song this one would be it. In fact everyone's theme song should be it. IT'S THE BEST SONG EVAR.

mmm catchy

I want to fly away

And the decades disappear like sinking ships but we persevere

(See me in this photo? no? GOOD. Let's continue)

I always find myself frightened by how fast time flies. There are so many things in life that we want to do 'in the future', but what we hardly realize is that today is yesterday's future-- and what have we accomplished?

It's been 4 months since my mom was hospitalized due to her aneurysm. Where did all the time go? Looking back at things, so much has happened since then, but at the same time it feels like nothing has happened at all.

Time moves so quickly sometimes that you don't even realize it slipping right through you .

One day you're someone somewhere; the next morning, you wake up and you're someone else in a foreign place. It's been three and a half years since I moved, and I'm starting to lose track of what life used to be. All of a sudden it feels like how it is now, is how it's always been and I have no reason to think otherwise. I guess time just does that to you.
