This Halloween, I dressed up like my second biggest fear: time’s fear.
It’s so difficult to balance the anxiety of his pressure and the urge to live it to the fullest, right?
Everything in this life is measured in “time spent”: in exchange for money in work, for love in friendships, for satisfactions in life.
But no one has ever taught us the value of every minute we have, of this incalculable wealth that is worth every choice we make.
Why is there no “time investment course” at school?
They should teach us how much to put aside each day into something that makes us feel good, to have a piggy bank of happy memories for retirement.
They should explain to us that every minute spent in being well is a gain, while that in anger and quarrels has a higher rate of loss than the investment.
They should make us repeat by heart the equation for which time = gift = life = possibility of play.
They should make us learn the quantum physics’s rules on the perception of unlimited time in a limited life: there is an exact number of added seconds for each of us, and this must be a warning to act but not the anxiety of dying.
Cause there’s time for everything, but there’s no time to waste.
We must learn to do the calculations well, adding to the survival needs those to the heart, minus the life’s waste marked by society, divided for the rest moments, multiplying all this for the happiness that can give every moment spent doing something we love – because the perception of lived time exponentially increases.
The result will be a life of balanced compromises that at the end of the day help us answer “yes, I am” to the most important question of all, the one we were born for:
if it were the last day, would I be satisfied with how I lived it and what I’ve done to date?
The answer is up to you.
Saying it, is what scares the most, but also the only engine that pushes us to change, stopping to perceive time’s flow as impending death.
A fear that I hope to overcome one day.
Do you have the courage to tell your fear?
Which costume have you chosen this year?

Per questo Halloween, mi sono travestita dalla mia seconda paura più grande: l’ansia del tempo.
Tempo sprecato, tempo esaurito, tempo rimpianto.
È così difficile bilanciare l’ansia della sua pressione e lo sprono a viverlo al massimo, vero?
Tutto, di questa vita, si misura “tempo impiegato”: in cambio di denaro nel lavoro, di affetto nelle amicizie, di soddisfazioni nella vita.
Ma nessuno ci ha mai insegnato il valore di ogni minuto che abbiamo, di questa ricchezza incalcolabile che vale ogni scelta che facciamo.
Perché a scuola non esiste un corso di investimento del tempo?
Dovrebbero chiarirci quanto metterne da parte ogni giorno in qualcosa che ci faccia stare bene, da avere un salvadanaio di ricordi felici per la pensione.
Dovrebbero spiegarci che ogni minuto speso a stare bene sia guadagno, mentre quello in rabbia e litigi abbia un tasso di perdita superiore all’investimento.
Dovrebbero farci ripetere a memoria l’equazione per cui tempo = dono = vita = possibilità di gioco.
Dovrebbero farci imparare le regole della fisica quantistica sulla percezione di tempo illimitato in una vita limitata: c’è un numero esatto di secondi addizionati per ognuno di noi, e dev’essere monito ad agire ma non ansia di morire.
Perché c’è tempo per tutto, ma non c’è tempo da perdere.
Bisogna imparare a fare bene i calcoli, addizionando ai bisogni di sopravvivenza quelli del cuore, meno gli sprechi di una vita scandita dalla società, diviso i momenti per riposare e ricaricarsi, moltiplicando tutto questo per la felicità che, ogni istante speso a fare qualcosa che amiamo, può dare – perché aumenta in maniera esponenziale la percezione del tempo vissuto.
Il risultato sarà una vita di equilibrati compromessi che a fine giornata ci aiutino a rispondere “si, lo sono” alla domanda più importante di tutte, quella per cui siamo nati:
se fosse l’ultimo giorno, farei soddisfatto di come l’ho vissuto e di quanto fatto ad oggi?
A voi la risposta.
Pronunciarla è ciò che più spaventa, ma anche l’unico motore che spinge a cambiare, smettendo di percepire lo scorrere del tempo come morte incombente.
Una paura che spero un giorno di superare.
Avete il coraggio di raccontare una vostra paura?
Quale costume avete scelto quest’anno?

Thank you very much Halloween is all about our fears xx
I love your costume!
I feel like nowadays many people are like any time wasted is time you could’ve spent making money, but making money isn’t the most important in life. We do need to set time aside to do things that make us happy.
Oh that’s so true.. we have all fallen into the thought that time is money and that money is happiness. And instead how many really happy things we forget to do .. it’s difficult to change mentality in a society that thinks like this, but I hope to succeed this year. xx
I love this post, Dasynka, and totally agree that they should teach about the value of time at school!
Love your costume too!

I’m glady you can relay with me, hopefully one day things will change (at least teachers will!). Thank you! xx
You do an amazing job with your costumes! The face paint looks phenomenal. I felt like school failed us really badly with the topics they’ve taught. Nothing really used in everyday living. It’s important that we use our time the best we can – putting most to good use, and a lot in things we want, like taking care of ourselves.

I couldn’t agree more. School should play a more important role in our education, menthal health and thoughts, but it only teach us numbers and conjectures.
Anyway thank you very much! xx
This is an interesting thought. Your costume is brilliant!

Lovely

Wow, your costume is spectactular Dasynka. And it’s very wise what you’ve written. I think the older and older we get, the more we realize this.

I like how thoughtful and straightforward your article was. I am also really big on really enjoying life and making it happen for yourself. One of the most important things for me would be to really have an impact on those around me, a beautiful and positive impact. Thank you for taking the time to write down your thoughts!
This is such a beautiful goal for life, and I also have set the want to leave something better in others’ life. The human being has often this need to fell accomplished by helping others and that’s why this world is a wonderful place.
Thanks to you for taking time to read my thoughts❤️ xx
