It is slower and bumpier sometimes going up hill, and longer to get to the top, just like life. But you can enjoy your life along the way.

Days seem to quickly go by, edging you closer to the end times of life. There must be a way to put the brakes on to at least slow it down. A balance. A way to enjoy these times instead of just playing the waiting game. It’s so hard though, not having that special someone there to share it with.
