It all becomes real

Location

I heard that "Time is like Death",  whatever you say in one second can effect an ocean of people it all becomes real in one moment

You only need this one moment, in the silence

To realize that it is right in front of you, the goal you have been trying to accomplish has been staring at you.

And you have just realized it, now.

Life doesn't stop; it rolls on fast, pushing on, forward, always moving ahead of you, consistent, faithful.

And sometimes you won't realize the role time plays till your chasing after it, trying to catch up.

It's in that moment you realize the fantasy day you have been awaiting is staring right at you, anticipating your next move.

It is indeed that moment when your in a panic, tears stinging at your eyes, and you're almost an adult.

Your smacked in the face, enveloped with the panic like a wave coming to shore and before you can embrace the moment...

It's gone. It's over. The moment presence itself boldly, and right in front of your own eyes. 

 

Being a "teenager" I've noticed, that in this point in time you are revving up into the fast lane. 

But if you don't take the time to cherish your victories, to embrace your history, to remember the memories you will soon realize it is all too late.

Because Life only moves forward, continually, infinitely...

 the way death can affect the hearts and souls of all who lived to witness it. 

There is no erase, no escape and in that moment it all becomes real.

It becomes real when you have reached that graduation stage, the goal that has mattered to me this whole time.

And you realize that just like Gatsby, you had a perfect dream. 

Despite all the faults, falls, and flaws caused while in pursuit of your dream, that you are no better than Gatsby.

Creating your own persona in pursuit of the perfect picturesque moment, where you and your dream become one.

To watch the green light shine for the last time as it fades into your past, and you're pierced with the bullet of Time.

Time has been all used up, and it all becomes deathly real.
