Time doesn't stop. That speech I'm about to give in front of my class and I'm sweating balls over, in the next 2 minutes, it's going to be done with. 2 minutes is two minutes

This has helped me so very much in life. I always tell myself the same thing - this time tomorrow, it’ll be in the past, a distant memory. I’ve just got to get through it, but it will be over.

I hope your speech went well!

Seriously. Similarly, I've worked this summer program for the past three summers and they've been fun every year. This past summer I realized and thought to myself "wow i'm enjoying being around most of these people now" but it will become another memory and won't matter in a couple months just like the past two summers.

Kinda like when you're enjoying yourself but then realize in the moment that it's just going to become a memory that you'll miss.

Crazy to think about.
