The time doesn't pass joyfully.
But is it wasted?
The joyful times were a waste.
Author notes
based on:
Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted.
John Lennon
commentry:
one learns most about oneself during the worst of times and so, in that sense, they are never wasted. learning about oneself is a real acheivement, but as pop-culture causes you to learn about others, doing so may appear joyful but you lose your identity.

I really don't think that time spent on living a life is wasted it is something that is treasured because we don't know how much time we have left

It is indeed sometimes true that one learns most about oneself during the worst of times and so, in that sense, they are never wasted.

It's very prosaic.. I am looking for something very poetic... jJay, do you mind revisiting your poem and digging in for some change? I'm sure, you have potential to make it more interesting. Pen me brilliance... you still have one more day... take your time... I bookmarked this entry and I will get back to this later....
Love and care
