Time travelers 🗓️🏎️ 🧭




Father time is implacable; he will always win despite our efforts and how well prepared we are. But usually, we knew some people who appear to be immune to the time laws. I know friends and even relatives who aged very, very well.


These people usually tend to be calm and have a balance in their daily routine. They have a good response in stressed situations, and it is peculiar to see them losing control. They always look at the positive side of life. It is uncommon to see them complaining about things that could be different or unfavored situations.


Even when you approach to talk with these people, when you end talking with them, you feel the sensation of calm, and in some way, you start to see the difference and the impact have thoughts in our daily lives. One more thing, these time travellers, don't waste much time on social media; they are occupied with living their own life rather than comparing or showing their lives with others.


On the other hand, we know some people that age faster, so it is not a surprise that we live in a stressed and competitive world that pushes us to constantly make quick decisions and move between work and the chaos of the city. Bad habits play a significant role, too; people who appear to be older usually have problems carrying a well-balanced life, like eating junk food, smoking, and lack of exercise, among others.


They usually waste their time scrolling on social media, comparing their lives, and punishing themselves for failing. These people often guilt other people for failures and constantly complain about their problems. They don't practice any activities or spend their time learning new abilities because they say they lack time in their day. Unfortunately, all of us know some of these people, and sometimes they could be close in our lives. 


Ageing is inevitable, all people are getting older, and as I said at the start of the blog, father time always wins, but how good or bad we age is the result of many things, most of them are our habits and thoughts. Surround yourself with people who motivate you, and if you have the luck to know some "time travellers", try to copy some of their qualities.

"OK Boomer"

Working life has introduced me to a whole spectrum of folks, spanning different ages and backgrounds. It's fascinating how age can influence the dynamics within a group. Back in college, my peers were typically within the same age range as me, roughly 20 to 25. But stepping into the workforce erased that age barrier entirely.  In my interactions, I've noticed some distinct patterns. The younger crowd tends to wear their hearts on their sleeves, valuing ideas and relationships above all else. On the flip side, the older and mid-life crew often prioritize climbing the career ladder and accruing material success. Bosses come in all shapes and ages too. Seasoned veterans bring a calm, empathetic vibe to the table, having seen it all before. On the other hand, the millennial bosses I've encountered can be a bit more... fiery. They're quick to react and slow to forgive, making them a bit of a challenge to work with. Sure, millennials might be shaking things up and spearheadin...

Another trip twelve years later

It has been a while since I finished high school, those were some of the best moments I have ever lived, my high school had a vast surface extension, many buildings and sections, and many classrooms crowded with hundreds of students. There, I studied for almost six years, I met good friends, some love and splendid moments that bring me a smile each time I recall. I never thought I missed my time there, when I was a teenager I swore I'd never turn back my sight to that place, now twelve years later I come back to the place that built me as a person. Last weekend, I had to work as an assistant for the referendum election in my country, as the last time I worked in the same position, I already knew what that job meant. To my surprise, the place was my old high school. I felt a nostalgia mixed with foreignness, I was part of that place for many years, but I felt like a stranger when I came back, many places were stagnant in time. I could visit my first classrooms just to find they were...

Prioritizing my to-do list

Since I started to document and follow my routine, endless things undone have reminded me that I need to make them time because they are also important. This feeling generates a guilty sentiment and anxiety for not giving them enough attention. But how do I prioritize among many significant things? Doing exercise is important, eating healthy too, studying and applying for jobs are equally important, but what receives more attention? what is not essential? This situation of deciding what requires more attention has put me in a challenging situation. Do I need to sacrifice my exercise routine to study more? What if I focus only on one thing at a time? While I worked my English routine decreased, and my motivation to study too, because as I mentioned before I was putting more time into either working or exercising. I thought I would have more time to do many things when I was younger, but the reality was different. Being an adult means you need to put some dreams aside if you want to avoi...
